In "be/long/ing," I embark on a visual journey to explore the complexities of ancestral culture, identity, and belonging. This collection of acrylic and mixed media paintings reflects a personal and communal reclamation—an attempt to rediscover the roots that have been lost to time, migration, and cultural disconnection. It speaks to the experience of finding oneself at the intersection of many places, yet truly belonging nowhere but within.
Through vibrant portraits and organic forms, I depict individuals who have forged a sense of belonging in different ways—by reconnecting with nature and their cultural heritage, through community, and by cultivating an inner sense of home. The native flora and fauna woven into these pieces symbolize the interconnectedness of people and the natural world, serving as reminders that belonging is not just about place but about our relationship with the land, others, and ourselves.
