"A Migrant's Odyssey: Pain, Vein, Gain" embodies the multifaceted journey of immigration. Each piece shares a common shape that can be interpreted as a crack, embodying the pain; as a root, resilient in transit; and as a tree, portraying growth. These three-piece artworks mirror the intricate layers within the immigrant experience, where every path tells a story of struggle, resilience, and growth. The hazy, see-through layers represent uncertainty and ambiguity, symbolizing the inherent vagueness of the immigrant experience.
