Amid Ancestral Veils

This exhibition invites you to embark on a journey through the fragmented terrain of a first-generation Vietnamese Australian's experience, delving into the chaos of dissociation. These works aim to extend the dialogue surrounding the exploration of ending intergenerational cycles while fostering a synergy of wisdom and healing. This exhibition is a personal, yet relatable, exploration of ancestral roots, delving into the intricate layers of connection and navigating the emotions tied to holding a hybrid of cultural identity in Australia.

As each painting unfolds, the spectral, bellowing figures engulf the canvas, demonstrating the intricate dance between the past and the present. The artworks expand as a visual narrative, capturing the essence of breaking free from intergenerational cycles that have been woven through the fabric of familial history. Through each brushstroke, the path towards healing and understanding is illuminated. Each canvas resonates with the collective journey of transcending the burdens of the past.

In exploring the hybrid nature of cultural identity, these artworks become a mirror to reflect the depth of embracing diverse roots. The room echo the stories of bridging worlds, where the emotions and struggles of finding harmony within the fusion of cultural influences exist. This thoughtful journey invites viewers to reflect on their own cultural intersections in order to foster a sense of understanding in the shared tapestry of human experience. Nurturing a synergy of wisdom and healing becomes a central theme, as the colours and forms interplay to carry a sense of renewal and transformation.

Each piece is a brush with ancestral energies that comes from a meditation on the collective wisdom. Each stroke that guides us towards breaking the cycles that bind generations. Although personal, this show invites viewers to engage with their own narratives, sparking conversations around the interplay of heritage, identity, and the pursuit of healing. This space is an offering to embrace the wisdom embedded in our roots and embark on a collective journey toward ending intergenerational cycles. Join me in this visual wander.
