Homebound was conceived in spring 2024 while I was pursuing an Illustration MFA degree at Rhode Island School of Design. Initially, I self-published a small batch of copies and directed 100% of the profit to various fundraisers supporting individuals or brigades in the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Through participation in The Unpublished Picturebook Showacse #6, the book was noticed by Orecchio Acerbo (Italy) and is currently set for publication in late 2025.
