Monotype (2023)
14x17x0 in.
Unique wax monotype on vellum. Created from inherited linens given to me by my mother, these napkins served as witnesses to my family’s history, carrying the physical traces of a life lived. By rubbing these linens to recreate poses from family photos, I map how an immigrant identity is constructed from generational memories, navigating a new world using the remnants of the old one.
