Artist’s Statement:
The works here are part of a series I have been working on exploring my search for connection to my multi-cultural family, to country, and to culture of which I have little knowledge: a feeling of floating in limbo, with no sure-footed groundedness, nor sense of truly belonging anywhere. These works are illustrating aspects of death and despair, yet also the healing and new growth that can result from it, if we allow it: forgiveness, courage, compassion, love, gratitude, and peace. Seeking home, seeking solace, seeking peace.
