The VOYAGE

Culture is one of the main values of a person; it influences people’s actions, thoughts, and beliefs without them ever realizing that it is the case. When I started my journey in America, it was quite overwhelming not only because of the different languages but also because of the different cultural elements.

 

Throughout the years, I learned and adapted and got somewhat comfortable with all the differences, but sometimes, when thinking back about the start of this journey, I still can’t help but smile about all the mistakes and experiences that I happened to come across.

 

Therefore, I created this installation piece to share with the audience some of those experiences, the emotions that I happened to have when things occurred, and the culture that I came from. Through visuals and touches, this work hopes to tell the story of my 6 years in America, a focal point of my life, and what I learned from it until now.
