This work is a reflection of my people, the strong connection to family and what I carry within me as a migrant beginning to take root in a new world, enriched with a different lifestyle and particularly with other people's traditions. It is a representation of the driving force that is planted in us as we integrate into this new environment.
This new destiny, this new life and culture, transforms and rebirths us into a new "I". It leads us to experience an inner rebirth, forging our identity in a renewed way. Each expe-rience, each interaction with the traditions and ways of life of others, amalgamate to mould a new version of ourselves.
Through this work, I celebrate the bravery and courage of those who venture into an unknown world, and the enrichment that comes from integrating into a new culture. It is a tribute to human adaptability and the ability to embrace the new, while preserving and valuing what is essential to our identity and cultural heritage.
