UNFILTERED PAIN

This artwork is a tribute to my grandmother, who passed away a few years ago. It is a collage of national patterns on an original piece of paper from the 1950s that she had kept as a keepsake. The artwork itself is both modern and traditional, combining old-fashioned national patterns with contemporary design. The visual is deliberately a bit out of sync, giving the impression of a 3D image that requires glasses to view clearly. This is meant to showcase the changing perspectives when time passes. It is a representation of our cultural identity and a reminder of the power of heritage.
