In this painting, we see a man sitting in a chair in his new home in NYC. He has just migrated from Haiti and is trying to settle in. The man seems comfortable in his chair, but there is also a hint of tension in his body language. He is guarding his heart, perhaps still in shock from the reality of his new surroundings. The room behind him is sparsely furnished, but there are a few details that suggest a personal touch. A small plant sit on a table. The colors in the painting are soft and muted, adding to the feeling of uncertainty but sense of hopefulness in the way the man looks out into the distance.
