Original fabric collage — part of the Personal Collection.
This piece was created in honor of two beloved sisters-in-law. It is not available for purchase.
A woman walks forward, searching. A little girl holds out her arms, waiting. The space between them hums with everything unspoken — the years, the distance, the longing that never quite went away. Will they find each other? The piece does not answer. It only holds the question, the way the heart does.
This piece honors two women who were adopted from Korea as young children and transported to a foreign land — who grew up, became mothers, and then found the courage to return. To go back to the place they came from. To find the little girls they once were, who did not speak the language, who were frightened and lost and so very brave.
Every single day, they show up for those little girls. Every single day, they choose to return.
This is for them. For the journey, the heartache, and the extraordinary strength it takes to go back and find yourself.
