RETURN

My series RETURN deals with the precious time we spend on trains, flights, buses, ships, traveling between places we belong to. It deals with our presence and mindfulness while traveling between homes.

My series RETURN deals with the precious time we spend on trains, flights, buses, ships, traveling between places we belong to. It deals with our presence and mindfulness while traveling between homes.

For me it started with my childhood memory of traveling to my grandparents, and now to my parents' home. It has always been a return journey, filled with anticipation and excitement towards them and filled with memories and reflections on the same way back.

It’s a constant ride between places I know and during these many years it has become part of me, returning is part of my identity. It's a bit of nostalgia, calmness, and appreciation.

The hours spent on the journey are simultaneously approaching and moving away from homes, returning to one another.

It gives time for mindfulness, we’re levitating and meditating. Sensing the rumbling of the train, pulling down the broken window, breathing through the cold air, hearing the buzzing lights.

Returning is always a transition between states of mind. 

I’m exploring this transcendental time and space of levitation, the inside and  outside abstraction of a return journey between places we belong to.
