What Remains

Material and cultural memory come together here to reflect on the painful journey of displacement, a reality that continues to devastate millions today and leaves lasting wounds. These marks, carried through personal and shared histories, serve as a testament to struggles endured and the quiet strength that carries on.
 

The installation reflects on the lived experiences of those who have been uprooted. Through this work, I explore displacement not just as a loss but as resilience and transformation, using textiles to highlight the continuity of cultural identity, and traces of what has been lost and what still remains.



This installation was exhibited at the Mississauga Festival of Trees, supported by CreativeHub 1352, at the Small Arms Inspection Building, Mississauga, Ontario, 2024.
