Home Comforts, 2025 linocut, woodblock collage on BFK Rives paper 93 x 123 cmThis linocut depicts a solitary figure suspended in domestic stillness, surrounded by the familiar comforts of home. Beyond the window, thick black smoke billows from industrial smelters, staining the sky with an acid purple-orange haze. The image explores the tension between domestic calm and environmental crisis, embodying the uneasy ambivalence of a society living on borrowed time. It questions the price of progress and Illusion of safety when destruction seeps quietly through every window.
