Text Based

These are attempts to deal with on-going concerns about migration, integration, and the cultural ambivalence resulted from living in different cultural contexts. The text fragments and some of the shapes are observations from airport signage where terms like “departures”, “arrivals” and “transit” are common visual sights. Intellectually they provide a platform for an endless ritual of questioning the continuous process of commuting between two “homes” - the native and the adoptive.
