Maya Homer

My work is rooted in personal, cultural, and emotional exploration. I’m heavily influenced by the complexity of identity, memory, and the body how they shift in response to place, time, and connection. I’m drawn to distortion physical, emotional, and visual as a way to explore the tension between what is known and what is unsettled. My work leans into strangeness: forms and gestures that feel almost out of place, yet eerily familiar. Drawing from both lived experience and broader social narratives, often blurring the line between the internal and external worlds.

I’m interested in how we hold stories in our bodies, and how the unseen—grief, longing, rage, tenderness—can be made visible through material, gesture, and space.

When people experience my work, I want them to feel seen. I aim to create spaces for quiet recognition, discomfort, or release—moments that invite emotional honesty and provoke reflection, whether soft or sharp. My practice is an ongoing conversation, not just about what we show, but what we carry.
