Where Are You Really From? An Inquiry into Generational Identity
January 4- February 2, 2025
Where are you really from? What connects you to a place, a culture, an ancestor?
I am a first-generation American of parents from disparate worlds. What is my relationship to this country? What do I claim from my ancestors? What do I hold on to, and what do I pass down to my children?
In this exhibition, I investigate these questions through the language of geometry. Quilting patterns, meaningful geometric shapes, my grandfather’s paper-folding games, and traditional Polish craft materials, all help me actively bridge my family’s layered identities.
