Carry Me Home

Some journeys are measured in miles.

Others are measured in memories.

A tiny Delft Blue couple shares a kiss while travelling across the back of an old dairy cow. Around them, a windmill and two little birds quietly watch over the scene, each a familiar fragment of a place once called home.

For many, these are symbols of childhood, family, belonging or a country left behind. Objects that might once have stood on a grandmother's shelf, travelled home in a suitcase, or waited patiently in a cabinet for decades.

In a world where people continue to cross borders in search of safety, love or a new beginning, Carry Me Home reflects on what we truly carry with us. Home is not always a place. Sometimes it is a memory. A kiss. A familiar blue pattern. A story that refuses to be forgotten.

Created from vintage porcelain and found objects, this WonderLust Object invites us to look beyond nostalgia—not as a longing for the past, but as a bridge between where we came from and where we are going.

Perhaps we are all, in one way or another, trying to find our way home.

Note from the artist

Carry Me Home is about nostalgia and belonging.

About the places we leave,
the places we find,
and the invisible threads
that connect us to both.

In a world that often feels divided,
this little couple reminds us that
love, kindness and curiosity
speak a language
that needs no translation.

Wherever we come from,
we all carry a story.
And we all long for home.
