Inspired by my own experiences of immigration and the search for belonging, Home Bound is a 160-page wordless graphic novel exploring the universal longing for a place to call home. It follows a woman and her suitcase as they step off a train, embarking on a journey through surrealism and dystopia, fairytale and horror, futurism and naturalism. The search reflects themes of identity, safety, and the meaning of 'home,' offering a deeply personal yet universal exploration of these ideas.
