“Resonance” was a collective show hosted by OCAF, Jan 2018. This show united sound with visual arts. Every artwork had its own sound track, so you could actually “listen” to the paintings. I decided on a theme that is meaningful for me, The never ending debate of means to be American. I painted immigrants from diverse backgrounds. The “sound” part of the project focused on the richness of foreign sounds brought to the U.S. by immigrants. The portraits are accompanied by recordings of the subject reciting a poem or verses in his/her native language, accompanied by a sound track from their own country.
