A Familiar Scene in an Unfamiliar Time
Painted during the Covid-19 pandemic, Home isolation imagines quarantine through the eyes of Kevin McCallister, the unforgettable child played by Macaulay Culkin in Home Alone. The scene draws on one of the film’s iconic moments, turning the empty house into a space of improvised freedom, tension and imagination.
Part of Pop Icons in Everyday Life, the work explores how pop culture spills into real life, shaping the images, stories and references we share. Here, a familiar comedy becomes a portrait of isolation, resilience and the strange creativity of staying at home.
