The following description comes from the event organizer.

Nahom Ghirmay, a visual artist based in Seattle, found his way there in 2010 after an extensive immigration journey from Eritrea through Sudan and South America. These diverse experiences have deeply influenced Nahom’s artistic perspective, reshaping his concept of ‘home’.

His work explores the complexities of identity and emotional experiences through a range of mediums. Central to his artistic vision is a desire to capture our shared humanity, inspired by the stories and sentiments of those around him.  

Nahom shares that “this series is a visual expression of the physical and spiritual journey to find peace amidst the chaos. As an immigrant, I spent lots of time wondering and searching for a sense of home. Ultimately, I came to realize home wasn’t a physical place, but the journey.”
