Title: House with the Palm Tree
Medium: Intaglio etching (4 copper plates)
Paper: Hahnemuhle German Etching 310gsm
Edition: 50
A lovely bench in front of the yellow house with the palm tree. It looks like an idyllic image of a vacation home from overseas. It’s a dream house, a fantasy, an exploration of my own archetypal home. "House with the Palm Tree" represents a space shaped by my thoughts, memories, and desires rather than a physical location. This house is furnished by the past, present, and future. It’s not only a shelter to live in, but a safe space to dream. It’s a dream. A Home.
"Home" is a word weighted with affect and associated with rootedness, attachment, belonging, shelter, refuge, comfort, and identity. The connection with a "home" offers us a sense of psychological and spiritual wholeness, potential, and belonging to the physical territory. Home has an affiliation with the landscape, community, and surroundings, and it is connected to history, memory, and tribe. These attachments are experiential, conferring a sense of belonging. Home, whether a physical place or a psychological concept, is a container for those who reside within its borders.
According to Jung (1964), "home" is a container, a place to which one can belong. The unconscious is made up of archetypes, autonomous instincts, patterns, or behaviors that are common across all eras, peoples, and places. "Home" is a powerful archetype. Next to Mother, it is probably the most universal and powerful archetype that we experience. What makes a place a "home," or makes us feel at home? The rise in adult depression and anxiety may be directly related to the primal need for a permanent home. The sustainability of a home is when it feels good to leave, and even better to come back.
For the Swiss psychologist Carl Jung, building a house was a symbol of building a self. This one was built by me. I smile every time I see the yellow house with the palm tree. Although it comes from my fantasies, it might be real.
