Windows of the World explores memory and the destinations that shape identity. Each painting reflects Laura Clay’s experiences traveling across cultures, capturing the balance between rootedness and transition. Inspired by her travels to places like Mexico, Italy, and Spain, Clay incorporates locally sourced pigments and natural materials, allowing each piece to embody the essence of its origin. As the series expands, new works will be titled after the locations where these materials were gathered, deepening the connection between place, and memory and exploring how travel transforms identity.
Darling Harbor was created using the last of her grandmother’s paints alongside pigments sourced from Sydney, Australia.
