Installation
Materials used: jute string, human hair, paint, glue
Size: roughly 14' x 2' x 9'
This installation piece was one of the many artworks
presented at our senior art show (a collaborative show
put together by the graduating class) in 2007.
It represents the journey of TCKs (Third Culture Kids)
around the world, who all experience an identity crisis
quite different from non-TCKs.
This piece captures the constant movements of TCKs,
fluttering from one place to another.
No single place can truly be called 'home'; they can
belong completely to none, yet all, the cultures they
have experienced.
