In The Welcome to Our Homes, an SHA community explores that question through a collage of photographs showing the many ways neighbors decorate the spaces outside their homes.
Created in response to a call from SHA Community Builders for artwork around the theme of “Home,” the piece brings together images of plants, artwork, shoes, decorations and other personal touches found throughout the community.
The artist says these details offer a glimpse into the diversity of this SHA community and the different interests, experiences and beliefs of the people who call it home.
“I believe one can add critical dimension and depth to one’s view of people by looking closely at the entrance to their homes,” Commissioner Rita Howard shared.
Created in 2026, The Welcome to Our Homes is a 19-by-30-inch photo collage with paper on foam board.
