The Girl and the Greenwood Alchemy
Acrylic on canvas 30 x 90cm
'The Girl and the Greenwood Alchemy' explores identity through the lens of childhood memories. This triptych captures the innocence of youth alongside the journey of self-discovery, revealing how early moments shape who we become. The greenwood symbolises both growth and transformation, echoing the fluid nature of identity.
Inspired by my childhood in South Borneo, the vibrant imagery blends nature with personal narratives, evoking the magic and complexity of those formative years. Aligned with my ongoing exploration of memory, migration, and cultural hybridity, this piece reflects on how our origins and experiences continually shape us. It is a visual reminder that identity is a constant process, rooted in where we come from, yet always evolving with where we go.
