CINDY WANG

This artwork depicts my ever-changing relationship with my mother. The right panel captures the isolation of my mother and the distance growing between us as I mature. I intended to enact a cyclical movement through the diptych, alluding to the generations in the life cycle. This movement indicates that through all the misconceptions and transitions, we are still connected as family. Through a process of layering pencil with soft gestural marks, slowly, a tender and comforting presence is constructed. This simple and basic medium is also a reflection of the often overlooked maternal love, which I now hold with gratitude.
