My work explores my own hybridized body, examining the way society defines, categorizes, and assignshierarchy that leads to a precarious sense of self. These drawings investigate how food and other cultural phenomena are a site of collision for these identities. More precisely, the work investigates how these objects and events are a vehicle for both assimilation and alienation in the South. Ultimately, the work questions what it means to assimilate: is it about blending in, becoming more visible, or something in between?
