About The Home We Carry painting

The Home We Carry is a painting by Skount that explores the idea of home as an inner presence rather than a physical place. Through symbolic imagery and dreamlike forms, the artwork reflects the emotional landscapes we build within ourselves and the memories and relationships that travel with us throughout life.

  • Our home is not confined to a physical place: it is a presence that travels with us, like a house carried upon our shoulders. More than a refuge, it reflects our essence, an intimate space where experiences, feelings, and memories dwell, shaped also by those who walk beside us. And it is through our passage across our symbolic desert that it is not a landscape of emptiness or desolation, but an expanse announcing new beginnings, the fertile ground where transformation may flourish. Home thus becomes both journey and companionship, a metaphor of memory and of our inner universe.

    Inspiration

    “The Home We Carry” was inspired by the idea that we each hold within us a personal sanctuary , a home built from experiences, relationships, and inner transformation. The work combines architectural forms and organic textures, symbolizing the coexistence of stability and change. It reflects Skount’s ongoing exploration of the self as a moving space, one that evolves with every encounter and every step across life’s desert
