Communication Design 2024

Finding my identity is a key that leads to my practice. By exploring one of my projects, I delve into the theme of finding identity within oneself as a personal journey of self-discovery. I face challenges such as criticism for my skin colour, dealing with the challenges, and coping with the trauma of experiencing hate crime. These experiences have fuelled my artistic exploration. I aim to confront and expose what was once hidden, transforming it from a source of insecurity to a symbol of triumph and acceptance.

I also explore the challenges and complexities faced by young Asian women in British society and how they perceive their identity. This project has become a personal journey that delves into my vulnerabilities and those of others. I aim to address these issues in my work and create awareness and a sense of connection among the audience.
