muslin, cotton and inkjet print on silk-chiffon

“Still-Life with Dried Fruits features a blown-up stamp from Norway with the illustration of a European still-life with fruits, fish, and bread, juxtaposed with large pixel images of dried fruits such as raisins, pistachios, and almonds on the same chiffon-printed surface. This piece represents the cultural exchange between the West and the East, intertwined with my memory of my family sending dried fruit to my father.”
