Where the Wind Carries Us, Oil on Canvas, 36 x 40 in

A large window opens onto the calm waters of an Alberta lake, a view that is precious to me. A gentle breeze drifts through a sheer curtain, touching familiar objects—a Tabriz Persian carpet on the wall, delicate and too precious to step on, and an aged vase resting quietly. In this moment, interior and exterior merge, uniting two worlds. The painting explores the balance between belonging and becoming, between the comfort of home and the openness of elsewhere. Through wind, water, and memory, it reflects how identity and experience move, shift, and reshape over time.
