About series of artworks "SELF"

Self is a series of artworks that turned out to be an answer to the question "Who am I? In the search for this mysterious self, I had to dig up a whole bunch of fragments, revise each of them, and then build something new out of the pieces.

The house (more home as a house) is the symbol from which the search began. The goal was to build something in my psyche that would hold all my pieces together, brick by brick. 

Almost every painting has a word hidden in it that somehow reflects the meaning I wanted to put into it. I don't think words are that important to understanding the artwork, and I try to paint in a way that the works speak for themselves. But a hidden word, like an Easter egg, is a nice bonus that I like to leave for the viewer, and I hope they have as much fun finding it.
