“I am ready” captures the intense feeling of displacement I experienced when I first arrived in the UK. The suitcase symbolizes this state of perpetual readiness to move, embodying the turbulence and unease of being unsettled no matter where I am. Through this piece, I convey a longing for stability and the helplessness of being unable to put down roots. The physical presence of the suitcase is not only a symbol of travel but also a metaphor for a constant readiness to begin anew. In a rapidly changing world, we are all, at times, nomads in our own lives.
