Traces of Home was inspired by the traces left on a blank wall of an apartment house by another, smaller house that was obviously demolished in order to use the lot for construction of a new building. In fact I have witnessed the process and there really is a new office building erected there.
I saw these traces as some tiny reminder of a previous existence (that of the demolished house), a temporary layer of memory or history "drawn" on the wall, a metaphor of the continuous processes of disappearing and emerging of things.
