Hybridity. These works explore my experiences of straddling different cultures and the challenges of navigating in-between-ness. They invite the viewer to reflect on their own challenges and encourage them to take ownership of their experiences and contributions. In a world where we often feel powerless, these objects remind us that we are both valid and valuable.
