In this series, Hadieh Afshani reflects on the emotional terrain of her second immigration—leaving Australia for the United States—and the fragile construction of identity in unfamiliar territory. Through depictions of architectural interiors and dreamlike distortions, the works reveal a space between longing and reinvention, where past lives in Iran and Australia haunt the corners of new beginnings. Intimate, surreal, and quietly dissonant, these paintings trace the struggle to belong in a place where connection feels just out of reach. They speak to the complexity of uprooting—how the self tries to grow, even in borrowed rooms.
