5 Questions
1.) The driving reason my family came to the US was for a new beginning, into a world they aspired to be in but not only benefiting themselves, but also helping their families left behind. My parents were selfless and wise to make a change for themselves and their future outcomes.
2.) Because of my parents’ sacrificing and risking their lives to come to a foreign world they only dreamt of, I want to succeed in keeping them proud of what I have accomplished with my work and therefore showcase a little bit of my family’s stories.
3.) My relationship to home signifies peace and tranquility when I come back to my cultural roots. It makes me appreciate the land and the values my parents grew up with.
4.) I had the opportunity to grow up in an environment where my cultural roots and my modern life cross all the time. I fortunately know what it is like to grow up between two worlds that are
very different and very much similar to one another, but that also challenges me in a way when it comes to translation barriers, for instance, but I oversee it as a learning moment.
5.) My hope is centered around God, my faith, my family, & my artistic vision. It is what fuels me in a way where I can be creative and have motivation within myself to share, and hopefully my work translates curiosity and cultural reflections that can help inspire others in different ways.
