Description:
Installation view from Liminal Space: 2019 SMFA Senior Thesis Exhibition. Thesis project statement: The marginalization of people of color is what drives me to have a voice. My body of work looks at the parallel between women of color and endangered plants that are native to the same regions. For example, Malaysian Rafflesia is a piece that was able to create a relationship between a woman native to Malaysia and a Rafflesia, an endangered plant native to southeast Asia, mainly Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia and the Philippines. By initiating this relationship between the two, I bring light to cultures and people who have been pushed to the side simply by what they look like, and endangered flowers that have no voice of their own; both silenced and invaded for many years. By creating this dialogue, I wish to help them be seen in a space that for many years has been absent of their presence.
