'Alien' is a piece dear to me, claiming and identifying the beautifully wondrous unique qualities of a being. Different in their design, it beckons celebration and honing their own power. In painting this piece, I had a vision of a strong feminine figure, someone in a few different cultures with no strong tether to one identity but their own. Two striking communities of thought were in the Third Culture diaspora I grew up in, and also LGBTQ identity.
