The mural, painted in Belgrade in 2022 with acrylic paint, explores the relationship between identity and the concept of home. The image of a girl with a small house attached to her head symbolizes how home - both physical and emotional - shapes who we are, even as we move through the world.
The house, nestled within her thoughts, represents the lasting influence of one's origins, suggesting that home is never truly left behind. It is carried with us, woven into the fabric of our identity, informing our actions, decisions, and sense of self.
The surreal placement of the house on the girl’s head speaks to the idea of memory and how the past remains embedded in our consciousness.
The mural invites reflection on the feeling of displacement or nostalgia that often accompanies leaving home, and the way our sense of belonging continues to evolve. The artist aims to portray how home can be both a grounding force and a source of inner conflict, reminding us that the places we come from, and the memories they hold, are always with us - carried, consciously or not, wherever we go.
