A Song Of Home Never Reached
48" × 48"
Oil on Canvas
2025
Part of the Oracles collection.
A seated figure rests upon a fractured outcropping of stone, her attention drawn toward a small bird perched upon an outstretched hand emerging from a weathered tree. The surrounding darkness isolates the encounter, allowing the relationship between the figure, the bird, and the tree to become the sole focus of the composition. Though physically close, the figures remain separated by a narrow distance, creating a sense of longing, anticipation, and quiet restraint.
Created as part of the Oracles series, the painting explores the ways identity is shaped by the systems, narratives, and structures that surround us during our formative years. Throughout the collection, recurring symbols such as trees, birds, fragmented forms, and isolated figures serve as reflections on belonging, memory, authority, and the search for an authentic self beneath inherited expectations.
A Song Of Home Never Reached considers the experience of longing for something deeply familiar yet perpetually out of reach. The bird becomes a symbol of an inner voice, truth, or sense of belonging that can be heard but not fully grasped. The work reflects on the distance between who we become and who we might have been, while suggesting that the search for home is often less about a place than a return to a forgotten part of oneself.
