Alien House

Alien House reflects the strangeness of moving to an unfamiliar place and attempting to find a sense of belonging within it. The neighborhood combines architectural elements associated with Charleston, South Carolina, and Maryland, creating a landscape that exists between two places and two experiences. Playful alien forms appear throughout the scene, lifting objects into the air and disrupting the familiar environment. The aliens introduce a sense of invasion and displacement while also suggesting curiosity and transformation. Are they taking something from the landscape, or are they carrying something away? The work uses humor and surreal imagery to explore the uncertainty of entering a new environment and trying to understand where one belongs within it.
