YOU ME US

This is a textile print created using the woodblock process, driven by the possibility of change and experimentation. I appropriate and marry the happenings of my surroundings, textures, colours, and weathered posters with the narratives of the past. By incorporating historically documented images and texts from the civil rights movement, I consider how the future elicits the past, and how these histories continue to shape our present existence.

Through this work, I explore how we connect and associate emotionally with colours, structures, and events, using them to define our personalities and sense of self. Colour, for me, becomes both language and memory capable of suggesting different meanings and narratives depending on personal or cultural beliefs and perceptions.

You Me Us unfolds as a collection of textile impressions layered, repeated, and shifting in colour that rework archival photographic imagery into a tactile field of memory. Each fabric piece captures a fragment of a shared gesture, echoing the circulation of histories that move through bodies, communities, and time.

While each textile print holds its own visual and material integrity, the work’s resonance expands through repetition and accumulation. Presented together, the variations form a collective surface that blurs the boundaries between individuality and togetherness, image and fabric, document and dream.

I conceive You Me Us as a single installation a choreography of differences that gain meaning through relation. Yet each print can also stand independently, carrying within it the chromatic and emotional rhythm of the whole. This dual structure allows the work to exist both as a unified environment and as a series of autonomous pieces, each tracing a unique moment within a shared narrative.
