My experiences as an immigrant in the U.S compelled me to explore questions around diverse identities and belief systems through works of art. In the UNTITLED series, the variety of peoples' individual physical from and the impressions we take from them can be metaphors for ideological beliefs or movements that do not fit cultural "norms". How do we perceive these "movements? What is "normal'? I aim to highlight how fringe movements and beliefs can find their way into the mainstream and become accepted. Like my own journey, time and place are essential to this transformation. I chose the human form to "embody" this symbolism.
