A few years ago I was reorganizing a closet and discovered cardboard boxes tucked into a dark corner. Much to my surprise, I found dress boxes and shoeboxes filled with photographs from the 1940s and early ’50s. I had forgotten that when my father died I inherited his personal photographs. That afternoon and long into the night, I sat on the hallway floor looking at the pictures and reliving some of those moments. It was like discovering buried treasure, a forgotten family heirloom.

About The Artwork This collage shows a working class immigrant family shift from a farming lifestyle to access to wealth, embodied by the woman on top driving towards a large home. She looks at herself in the mirror but does not see her history. Below her, are workers and laborers, including corn rows, a nod to my farming ancestors and the woman's history.This artwork was created as I questioned how long did it take for my ancestors to lose their culture? I was told that it took only two generations for an immigrant to assimilate. This work is part of the "White Ghosts" series. For the past three years, I have been dissecting my "whiteness" in an attempt to make visible that which is unseen or unspoken. During this personal journey, I have attempted to untangle my ethnic and cultural identity and understand the historical social construct of whiteness. The artwork I have made is at times a documentation of my search, a reflection on my experience of whiteness, and/or an attempt to answer my own questions about the formation of racial identity in the U.S. Original Created:2016 Subjects:People Materials:Paper Styles:ConceptualFigurativeModerncollage Mediums:Papercolored pencilPencilmagazine Details & Dimensions Collage:Paper on Paper Original:One-of-a-kind Artwork Size:17.5 W x 25 H x 1.5 D in Frame:Other Ready to Hang:Not applicable Packaging:Ships in a Box Shipping & Returns Delivery Time:Typically 5-7 business days for domestic shipments, 10-14 business days for international shipments.
