Artist Statement:
“O Tell Me” is an installation of a metaphorical journey using images, words and objects in a process of accretion, accumulation, and convergence. Yellowing with time, the paper remembers.

Seeking a scaffolding for dramatizing personal archaeology and experience, I claimed the seminal book Homer’s “Odyssey”.

The depth and resonance of my cultural ancestors gives me a perspective on what is lost when cultures are destroyed.
