Thank you all who came by to see my MFA thesis exhibit - Pulling Threads: Weaving Memory and Identity

I’m excited to announce that I’ll be a part of the 62nd Toronto Outdoor Art Fair, taking place at Nathan Phillips Square July 7 - 9 and online at TOAF.ca from July 2 - 9, 2023!
Don’t forget to follow and the hashtag to explore this year's amazing Artists!

Part of my undergraduate thesis, this work investigates issues of identity and belonging. The rug borders stand as metaphor for geographical borders and the cut-out element is aimed to convey the fragmented nature of diasporic living.

This work, among others, will be on view next week at GradEx 108 - OCAD University’s annual graduate exhibition. GradEx is runs May 3-7 and is open to public. Come see my work, alongside many amazing artists’ whom I was fortunate enough to spend the last year with.
