BIG answers

I want my big idea to be about home. Home is a place, concrete or abstract, where one feels acceptance. I think my work says alot about the search for, loss of, and finding home; whatever it may be to the individual. Nature is a predominant theme in my work, because it is the origin (home) of all living things.
I believe that home is something we all long for and are capable of obtaining whether or not we're aware of it.
