Impressions

Abstract

In "Impressions", I use photographs of my parents in early adulthood to explore my desire to learn about them. Repeating the embraces, the faces, the cars, my late grandfather, and colors to create patterns makes me feel a stronger and stronger connection to these objects and people. The blend of traditional craft with new technologies like the laser cutter reflects the contemporary context of print media, through which I can speak to cultural tensions and nuances arising from living with hybrid identities, memory, and change.
