This piece was part of a collection that was exhibited at the Madison Municipal Building for two years. Inspired by horizons, journeys, and stories of immigration, this abstract handmade paper collage invites us to reflect on what we have left behind and what we look forward to.
What we see as being within our horizon is our home, where we belong, where we operate safely, and know what to expect - geographically or conceptually. Beyond the horizon lies the unknown which may attract us with its potential for solutions to our problems, bright diversions to our boredom, or maybe solace to our pain; but also fear of these changes, uncertainty as to our ability to weather them, and mourning for the loss of home.
