dc.description.abstractIn an increasingly global and ever-changing world today, many individuals reflect upon the concept of multicultural identity. Much of my research explores the theme of identity and what that can mean. Various factors shape an individual’s sense of self, and they come from both internal and external forces. In my work I explore this concept by pulling from various inspirations and cultural influences. A Journey is a large-scale ink on paper scroll. The use of ink and the formatting of the paper was inspired by Chinese ink paintings, and the imagery depicted in the work is reflective of an exploratory journey. The reoccurring character in my work is significant in being representative of the feeling of displacement and being the "other". The character is not fully one thing, neither jellyfish nor human but a merger of the two, much like an individual with multiple cultural and societal ties. This work and the narrative explored touches upon many concepts and perspectives on the complexities of identity and the feeling of being tethered between societies.en_US
