One-of-a-kind

I immigrated to Alabama as a child having no knowledge of the language, climate or my new country’s culture. I was at an age where I had already learned and developed some lasting developmental traits but I was also such an open vessel to learn more. Here I learned English, graduated high school, got married, attended college but like any other normal life there has also been loss, heartbreak and grief.

the marks in the fabric reflects the many aspects of my experience in Alabama. The threads intercross trying to mend the fragile fabric. The wear of the fabric from years of life hold together by mere strands. The patches and supports try to hold and repair life page by page. Marks and stains litter the pages reflecting the impressions that the everyday leaves behind. This is my history of 29 years in Alabama.
