The Story of Tiles and Ropes In-Between

Abstract

The Story of Tiles and Ropes In-Between explores migration, in-betweenness, and resilience of a female body through installation, sculpture, video, poetry and performance. Using clay and jute—materials tied to memory and place—the work navigates themes of fragmentation and reconstruction. Walking is an integral focus to this body of artwork, serving as both method and metaphor in navigating identity in the diaspora. Influenced by theorists like Homi Bhabha and Gloria Anzaldúa, the work engages with the third space, where hybridity and transformation unfold. Through movement, sound, and material, the work redefines home as a fluid, evolving state rather than a fixed location.
