Resilience is the product of her ‘escape’ during these tough times, a needed release in the wee hours for the sake of sanity. It’s a continuity of an ongoing body of work that explores a text-based print series called Borderline Engagement that combines handwritings, scanned images, objects that are home, and in everyday use (for example: packaging of baby food, baby’s medicine, etc). The act of reusing household products meant for my child felt like it epitomized a gesture of me reclaiming my existence and exemption back that felt like ‘stolen’ sometimes.
The texts for Borderline Engagement series are a combination of questions, statements, and manifestos that arise naturally since having to balance between being an artist and a mother. Resilience is trying to find a way to persevere; To not completely lose my autonomous-self while striving to become the best nurturers for my daughter.
