This on-going body of work is inspired by the organization Legacies of War. Their mission statement: "is to raise awareness about the history of the Vietnam War-era bombing in Laos and advocate for the clearance of unexploded bombs, to provide a space for healing the wounds of war, and to create greater hope for a future of peace." As a refugee/immigrant, the process of connecting and disconnecting with a place and community are abstracted ideas of migration. The collage and painting process is unpredictable and a dialogue about assimilating and relocating into another culture/space. The works capture and embrace architecture and built environment in its state of flux. Teetering between realism and abstraction, I fold space and time to connect with the fleeting world. To achieve a kaleidoscopic effect, I employ multiple viewpoints, rhythmic fragmentation, and strong color contrast to fuse both the contemporary and historical landscape elements into one.
