This double-sided painting confronts the weight of family ties and the struggle for self-identity, set in motion by a DNA test that revealed unexpected truths about my parentage and shattered my understanding of where I come from. On the front, I've painted myself in the same muted tones as the sheet, nearly fading into the floral pattern to suggest a sense of disconnection and estrangement, reflecting the unsettling realization of feeling out of place within my family. It portrays the loss of my heritage and the disorienting necessity of having to remake myself. On the back, I emerge - breaking through the surface of the canvas as an act of self-assertion and transformation. This contrast between front and back reflects my journey to confront and redefine inherited stories, to claim my identity on my terms. The piece invites viewers to consider how we can both belong to and break free from our roots, choosing the narratives we want to carry forward.
