This layered, collaged painting embodies the spirit of adventure and nostalgia. Miles Away from Here incorporates deep blue washes alongside fragments of nautical charts once belonging to my father—torn into strips and carefully placed on the canvas. Glimpses of shiny gold Moët Chandon champagne bottle foil, collected during a trans-Atlantic voyage, add a tactile richness. The piece invites the viewer to drift into a dreamlike escape, where time slows and the horizon stretches endlessly.
