HOME FACADES

March 26, 2026 in public art and community

Created during the peak of pandemic lockdown in May and June 2020, this temporary photographic mural project evolved over six consecutive Sundays across neighborhood home fronts, garage doors, and fences. Together, these murals formed a visual sequence—a polyptych of house-shapes—that maps a walking path through an unexpected and reimagined suburban scene of escape portals.

By merging images of interior spaces, the body, garments, and the sea with the physical architecture of homes, the installations highlight the gaps, silences, and nostalgia for other places defined by the pandemic era at its peak time. These ephemeral interventions offered a moment of surprise and contemplation, transforming a routine neighborhood stroll into a surreal emotional journey.
