'So, here you are. Too foreign for home, too foreign for here. Never enough for both'. – Ijeoma Umebinyuo
This artwork is an ode to my fellow migrants who have two homes in their heart. A migrant from South Africa, I moved to New Zealand in 1999. And after more than 25 years of living abroad, in many homes, down many roads, I realize more than ever that part of me will be here and part of me will always be elsewhere.
