2 roosters and a cat, digital collage, 2022.

This digital collage reflects my relationship to my mom and sister as alluded in the title by our zodiac signs. The photograph within the frame originally depicted my mom posing in a purple áo dài (Vietnamese traditional dress) while holding onto a branch of hoa mai. Behind her, is a hand painted backdrop of a rooster. This photograph was taken in 1993 at a Tết event hosted by the Vietnamese Association of Peterborough. Beneath the cut out of her silhouette, my older sister and I are posing in our áo dài’s carefully made and gifted to us by one of our aunts in Việt Nam.
