“Plant and Places” 
Pen and ink, 2018

In Viterbo, plants function as the hallmark of overgrown, abandoned places, yet - at the same time - are carefully cultivated on the balconies and porches of lived-in spaces, signifying
the makings of a home.
‘Plants and Places’ explores plants as both the literal and representative intersection between loneliness and belonging, and ultimately, is about finding a way to be at home
in another country.
