Third Culture Naratives

Narratives is a series of faceless family portraits reconstructed from personal photographs. By removing identity from the face, the work creates space for memory, protection, and universality. The figures are defined by fabric — pattern, color, and texture that carry culture, lineage, and ceremony. Against layered, chaotic backgrounds, each figure stands grounded, embodying resilience, inheritance, and quiet strength.

This work is not about likeness. It is about presence. It is about the stories we carry in our bodies, our clothing, and our silence. It is an offering — to family, to ancestry, and to the unseen threads that bind us together.
