I have travelled much in my life.  In fact I have been an immigrant for more than half my life in one place or another.  This piece explores how it feels to touch the culture you live in, yet always feeling separated and "elsewhere" at the same time.

Imagine having to flee your homeland because of war, terror or persecution. Imagine being a child and not having your parents with you because they were killed before you left or were unable to leave. Imagine arriving in a strange country, seeking asylum, completely alone. Imagine having absolutely nothing.

Dietro di me is a larger-than-life sculpture of a my father. A series of cross-sections of his naked body glazed onto sheets of structural glass. The work explores those times when even the most supportive parent is not there and one learns to be truly alone.
