Inter-Generational Self Portrait

My grandpa immigrated from the Philippines to the US when he was 21 and helped move the rest of his 9 siblings here as well. Due to this, he has built my family up in San Francisco and is the center of it as a result. I wanted to create a piece of work that demonstrates my family's history and origin in the US. I consider it a self-portrait because it contains images of me, my aunts, parents, siblings, cousins, and grandparents. It shows the diversity and impact of identity on immigrant families in America.

Photography and art inspire me to express myself in a way that otherwise isn't possible.
