Chasing Yesterday

       Chasing Yesterday is a series of two- and three-dimensional artworks that showcase her fascination, passion, and enthusiasm she has for creating artwork influenced by history and more specifically her grandparent’s life stories. For as long as she can remember, she has always had an immense curiosity to learn about and to understand what her grandparent’s upbringing was like. 

     “Each piece in this exhibition I hold dear to my heart. I not only created these works to symbolize and honour my grandparents’ stories, but also created them with the hope that it would inspire conversation and remind the viewer of their own grandparents and family stories.” 

    This exhibition represents my long-lasting bond with my grandparents, that only grew after their passing. I embrace their stories and upbringing through these pieces. I want this exhibition to remind us all that even though our ancestors’ lifestyles were humble and we have come a long way we should never forget our common ground - where we came from and how it all began.
