Materials and Content The Fragments: A used cardboard moving box will be cut into seven pieces to form a tangram puzzle. Each piece will represent one of the seven cities I have lived in. Label-printed photographs of me from different life stages will be affixed to the tangram pieces, representing memories and shifting identities. The Shadow: A blue IKEA bag will be cut into the shape of my walking shadow. This material, often used for carrying possessions, will represent the strength and continuous adaptation of a woman in diaspora. Assembly: The tangram, assembled to resemble a house, will be mounted on the wall with magnets, allowing it to be rearranged and reassembled by the viewer. The walking-shadow shape will be mounted directly beneath the tangram house. The overall installation transforms objects typically neglected after a move—the box, the bag, the labels—into a focal point for an affective archive of belonging. The shadow would be reversed horizontally and placed underneath the house to mimic the house's shadow direction, but the shape remains as me See more
