Welcome Home / Come Home is a collaborative effort from Israeli-born artist Nelly Agassi and her son, Emmanual Evon-Agassi. A neon-lighted sculpture formed from handwritten text captures the essence of relief felt when one is truly at home. Inspired by the experience of waiting for -- then receiving -- their family's green card, the artists convey warmth and compassion to passengers heading toward the immigration line, through the soft neon glow of home.
