Can I Come In? explores how home, intimacy, and routine are constructed within a nomadic life shaped by separation, and constant relocation. Through a series of twelve still-life paintings—each based on a meal prepared in a different sublet—the work examines how cooking becomes a grounding ritual and a form of emotional survival in unstable environments. Drawing from lived experiences across cities and temporary homes, the project connects personal displacement to broader contemporary conditions of mediated mobility, remote living, and fragmented domesticity. The series will expand into an artist’s book combining paintings, recipes, and essays, forming an archive of temporary homes and a guide to finding care, presence, and belonging within impermanence.
