This eleventh Earth Painting in the Echoes of Home series symbolises the rediscovery of belonging — not tied to a single place, but found through shared experiences and the creation of harmony. The warm camel tones and rugged textures reflect the strength and determination required to balance past and present while crafting a new sense of home. Women’s resilience and stability often anchor their communities during times of profound uncertainty (RICS, 2023).

Let this Earth Painting inspire you to find harmony in life’s transitions.

Butterfly joints
The corners of this Earth Painting are crafted with butterfly joints. These joints symbolise transformation, rebirth and personal growth. Handcrafted to form the cornerstone of the canvas, these joints are a visual reminder and tribute to the support women offer to their families and environments, as well as to their nurturing and caring role.

More than a number
The numbering of these Earth Paintings serves as a reflection on the dehumanising processes refugees endure, where individuals are reduced to statistics instead of being recognised for their unique stories and inherent humanity.
