Inspiration:
 
The title “Exile” was born from the deep feeling of a forced separation from the absence of a place I call home, and from an identity that at times seems to blur with distance. The rough, 3D dimensional textures represent the mountains of my homeland (The Alps) strong, rugged, familiar. The intense blue evokes the lake I come from, a mirror of emotions and memories etched within me, both gently and powerfully.
This work is an inner journey, a reflection of what exile even if only emotional inevitably demands.
