About This Exhibition
This exhibition narrates a personal journey with a continued focus of the artist’s work on how the individual narrative anchors the collective, and vice versa. This series explores an emotionally charged landscape, juxtaposing and upending fixed and “righteous” perspectives to reveal the flexibility found in reoriented boundaries.
