New Zip Code

Dimensions: 20 x 20 in Medium: Oil on canvas with embedded toy soldiers Year: 2023 New Zip Code depicts three children building a sandcastle by the shore, their play layered with thick impasto textures and the unexpected presence of toy soldiers embedded within the surface. The work evokes childhood imagination while subtly pointing to deeper themes of migration, identity, and resilience. The title reflects both the innocence of play and the profound reality of change—moving, adapting, and beginning again. Childhood here becomes the starting point, not only of memory but of the larger journeys that shape us. The painting balances tenderness and complexity, exploring how simple acts of play carry within them echoes of displacement, dreams, and renewal.   Shipping: Free shipping on originals within the U.S. International shipping available.
