This series explores my navigation through the American landscape as a brown immigrant woman, particularly now as I transition between phases of my life, a massive transformation brewing. Titled ‘For Here or To Go’, the artwork in this setting at the S.Dot gallery represents the uncertainties of my life right now, having to sometimes revise the ways I exhibit my cultural identity, and everyday micro-aggressions.I am still learning to navigate through this space— constantly at war in assimilating with this culture while also significantly staying with my cultural stance and identity.

The materials and art techniques chosen are outside my comfort zone with the rampant use of layers, mixed media, and portraiture that I don’t usually indulge in.
