"Struggle, Endure, Contend," "Siblings," "Darlene," and "Untitled"

Abstract

The intention of my work is to examine the question of “Who Am I?” This question was posed as a prompt by my high school art teacher, and I have been working on a breadth of work under this theme since. This artistic project seeks to analyze my identity as a student, a sister, and a daughter, and it heavily focuses on my cultural background as a biracial person who doesn't live in either of my parents' home countries. As I continue to return to this question, my art becomes a growing, ever-changing body of work, which reflects the very foundation of self-exploration and beginning to understand oneself.
