The arresting heroines who inhabit these works unequivocally express their own narratives, but they also serve as a prism through which viewers may reflect on the artists’ practice in relation to their own multifaceted experience.

As modern society often puts considerable focus on assigning labels to our existence, it separates us by nationality, gender, skin-colour. However, identity is far from a singular, static concept; identity is like a prism with multiple refracting surfaces – when the light comes through, one can see its full spectrum of colours.
