‘Home’ represents my personal relationship with my childhood home and the environment. The background is a distorted memory: butterfly milkweed, a native species planted in our yard, blossoms in the foreground. The prominent white textured writing reads “Home” copied from a note from my mom. Our concept of home changes and shifts as we enter relationships and move onto different chapters of our lives, though, key themes linger.
