Bracing for Hope
Through printmaking, textiles, and mixed media, this body of work explores the nuanced concept of home. This collection is a reckoning of finding a sense of place as immigrants in the US. Exploring what makes home home, it's an investigation of the comfort and security of home in juxtaposition with fear, anxiety, and disorientation immigrants experience in America. Sitting with the double consciousness our spatial and communal identities here and now, yet longing for what was then and there. The constant search for a sence of place in a land that makes all aspects of life challenging for immigrants through policy and bureaucracy. This collection of work embraces the ongoing search for place with the grief and loss embedded within it.
