The Spectrum of Identity Through the Lens of Cultural Hybridity

I live between languages, between homes, between selves. My work is born from this liminal space, where memory blurs, where belonging fractures and rebuilds. Through painting, sculpture, and the delicate layering of mixed media, I trace the invisible cargo we carry across borders: the scent of a lost kitchen, the lullaby of a first language, the tender ache of things unnamed.
I stitch sheer fabric like skin, embed dried leaves like pressed memories, and stack moving boxes not with furniture, but with fragments of identity. Each material holds the residue of movement, fragility, resilience, transformation. Each piece becomes a vessel for longing.
This body of work reflects the emotional architecture of migration, the weight of what is left behind and the quiet reinvention that follows. It is not simply about loss, but about layering, building something whole from fragments, stitching meaning from the in-between.
With these creations I invite viewers to pause inside this tension, to feel the bittersweet pulse of home and memory, of departure and return. In these traces, I seek to honour the beauty of becoming, not rooted in one place, but shaped by many winds.
