The MAP SERIES serves as a profound excavation of women’s sidelined histories and the heavy emotional labor of caregiving. Through these works, I chart the psychological terrain of saying goodbye to loved ones while grappling with the elusive nature of grief. My process begins on large, raw canvases where intentional disorder sets the stage. I build each surface through a tactile accumulation of plaster, pigments, and precious metal leaves, integrating vintage photography and news clippings from the 1900s. By sanding back these layers, I exhume the spirits of the past, illustrating how feminine legacies are often obscured by time. I incorporate geometric symbols—circles, grids, and double helixes—as beacons of order and social evolution, lighting a way toward a more balanced future. By positioning women as the essential keepers of our heritage, the collection celebrates ancestral power and shared remembrance. I employ cross-cultural icons and Kanji characters to articulate experiences that transcend verbal expression. Each painting is paired with a unique sculptural guide protected within an heirloom silverware box. These assemblages serve as legends for my cartography, decoding the intricate metaphors found on the canvas. Rooted in deep reflection and feminist focus, my art invites the audience to explore these maps as a bridge between the physical and the mythical, the fleeting and the eternal. Within these textured intersections, the enduring strength of the female voice is continuously rediscovered, recalibrating our perspective on the history we all share.
