Identity is shaped by both visible and invisible forces. Ethnicity, lived experiences, and unspoken narratives define us and shape our unique identities. Undercurrents explores these deep, often unseen layers of identity through a series of ceramic busts that honor individuals and their personal stories. Each sculpture captures more than a likeness; it is a vessel for history, resilience, and cultural memory. These busts invite viewers to engage with the complexities of identity—how it is formed, how it is perceived, and how it endures.The individuals represented in Undercurrents are not just subjects; they are storytellers. Their presence reveal the currents that shape them—their struggles, joys, and the legacies they carry forward. This exhibition seeks to amplify voices that are often overlooked, celebrating the strength found in personal and collective histories. Undercurrents also speaks to the intersectionality of identity—the ways in which race, gender, class, and other aspects of identity interconnect and shape individual experiences. Each bust serves as a reminder that no single identity exists in isolation; rather, they are part of a larger, interconnected web of histories and communities. These intersecting layers influence how individuals navigate the world and how their stories resonate across diverse spaces.
