‘Leaving Home’
This painting is for the ones who’ve packed their lives in boxes again and again — who’ve left homes, cities, countries — chasing something new while carrying the quiet ache of nostalgia. I’ve moved 19 times in my life. Homes change. Countries change. Careers shift. But one thing has followed me through it all: my journal. In every city, on every train, in every lonely living room, journaling has been my anchor. This piece honors that. A girl with headphones, journaling as she heads toward a new beginning — heart full of memories, hands writing the next chapter.
