Dining Room is an installation that brings light to the unspoken trauma and hurt from our families and cultures of origins through a process designed to provide catharsis, community engagement, and dialogue.This is created through a community participation event, “Shatter Party,” where, one by one, participants break dishes. The fragments are used to create a key component of the final piece. Concurrent with the installation, I will invite local artists, showcasing their work on related themes.
