“Wanderlust” is a handcut paper collage giving an affirming ‘yes’ to the question, ‘Is the grass really greener on the other side?’ This composition shines a light on the hunger for new experiences, cultures, food, and people. While seeking treasures of the unknown, the eyes in the collage look for what’s possible. The home is where the bulk of one’s individual conditioning is born. But the hunger to reach outside of what we know, to go to the mountains, explore cities, and experience life outside of reading books and remaining enclosed in a space desires to feast. The paper collage includes the Oklahoma City and Austin, Texas skylines, mountains, planets, and distinct eyes from people of various cultures. “Wanderlust” gives the viewer permission to break free from what they know, to rewrite the programs they were born into during this lifetime.
