My Work My Home My Life

A pickup truck loaded impossibly high with every possession—furniture, mattresses, coolers, household items precariously stacked and strapped down. This painting documents a reality familiar in Los Angeles: people carrying their entire lives on their backs, or in this case, on their trucks.

"My work, my home, my life" captures the experience of those living on the edge—day laborers whose truck is their office, families displaced and moving, immigrants arriving with everything they own. The massive load defies physics and safety, yet this is survival, necessity pushing past what should be possible.

The bright blue California sky contrasts with the weight of the load, the parking lot setting suggesting temporary stopping points in lives always in motion. This is the other side of the American dream—not arrival, but constant movement, carrying the burden of existence from place to place.
