CHILDREN OF IMMIGRANTS, 2023

Acrylic, polyester fabric on canvas

61.0 x 91.4 cm / 24 x 36 inch

Inspired by Werner Bronkhorst's abstract style,
my artwork features khata draped around miniature figures, symbolizing the journey of generational immigrants. The artwork encapsulates the richness
of tradition and the collective aspirations woven
into my family's history. Through this visual nar-
rative, I aim to convey the beauty and complexities
of the immigrant experience while ensuring the
unbroken continuation of generational line.
As a second-generation immigrant daughter,


 

“ I want to honour my heritage and
                                    appreciate the generational legacy ”
