This final Earth Painting in the Echoes of Home series concludes the journey, encapsulating the profound realisation that home is not bound by walls or geography but is found within ourselves and the connections we cultivate. The layered textures and serene openness of the piece evoke a sense of freedom and unity, reflecting the ways women navigate displacement and create belonging through resilience and shared humanity. Subtle patterns and delicate movements within the surface symbolise the enduring strength and adaptability that transform loss into renewal, echoing the universal experience of rebuilding after disruption (Guémar, 2019).

Let this Earth Painting remind you that home is both a place within yourself and a shared journey, rooted in resilience and shared humanity.

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.
