As an exploration of having a multi-racial identity, I explore symbols that resonate with me. Some I have yet to identify with historically categorized ancestral symbols. The unknown of all of my ancestry is something I reflect on in my work. This piece is a reflection and response to how colonization, globalization, and westernization affects identity, the experience of being of many backgrounds while also not knowing or practicing a culture. I have a disconnection between the few things I know were practiced and a lack of practicing myself. To me, the pieces are ingredients to my identity, a practice of nostalgic exploration.
