Propagation — the act of spreading, reproducing, or multiplying from a shared origin.
This body of work explores the propagation of a single visual seed—each piece a variant, mutating through its own creation and developing distinct color stories, elements, and environments. The series presents evolving versions of the same origin, tracing themes of fertility, containment, detachment, and contextual transformation.
What begins as repetition becomes divergence: a study in how form replicates, adapts, and resists stasis. Like eggs, each form shares an identical origin—yet as they develop, they diverge. In the process of self-actualization, something is lost: the anonymity of the collective, the intimacy of sameness, and the assumed belonging of family. This tension echoes the artist’s adoption story, where identity unfolds through separation, mutation, and reclamation—the sacrifice of becoming.
