There is something liberating, yet unsettling about constantly being on the move. Here is a collection of works that represent a few of the places that have been like home in the past years.

Created with maximum use of hibiscus dye, extracted from the flowers that grow in my backyard. While this dye was mixed with the indigo pigment and avocado skin dye to articulate other natural forms, this collection is where the greens from the hibiscus dye show up splendidly. Yes, certain pink hibiscus flowers produce a green dye!
