Searching For A Title

Searching for a title is exactly what it means. Talking about family is hard. Talking about this journey from where I am now to when I first moved to the Bay Area is challenging. I am searching for the “who am I”. I have been challenging myself to think beyond the construct of what makes a family, a family. Why am I so scared to be me? I am in search of something, potentially lost at times.

I find myself examining two family dynamics: one in which I feel tense and constrained, and the other where I feel liberated and free to be myself. This represents both the challenge and the triumph of my experience. I feel torn between these two worlds, apprehensive about revealing my true self. This body of work is challenging because I still don't feel complete. I am focused more on my wants rather than my needs.
