Paul Farinacci

​

The house is a symbol of shelter, secrecy & society’s shifting values. Using light, shadow & narrative detail, my small illuminated sculptures & large-scale works confront the contradictions of domestic life—from the myth of the idyllic home to the complexities of migration, isolation & institutional failure. Tiny illuminated windows/doors reveal scenes of inner turmoil, reflecting the dual nature of the home as sanctuary & prison. These voyeuristic interiors expose hidden truths, challenging viewers to question what lies beneath the surface. Puppetry, toys, & papier-mâche infuse my work with a sense of innocence & menace. My scenes reflect personal & public histories—ranging from the impact of social media on private life to systemic failures in education, aging, & environmental neglect.
