rings
2025
cut paper
~9.25x6.75"

thinking about yearning, diaspora, longing to go to a home that exists as a moment in time moreso than an actual place. of my mother telling me that herself, my brother, and i are three unbreakable rings forming a chain together. of my family and distance and wishing the map was a blanket when it is a slate with artificial barriers.

of the forever struggle for to live, not just survive.
