Now more than ever, as the world shelters in place due to a global pandemic, people are spending increasing amounts of time at home, reflecting on new depths within and exploring with new eyes the common elements of our everyday surroundings. Through an exploration of these familiar environments, we can discern elements of the self, and consider how they relate to family traditions and heritage.

Such explorations are evident in the work on display in Art on Demand 6.4, in which photographer Gloria Wong and painter Karl Hipol each explore their personal experiences navigating a hyphenated identity, through two very different mediums. Wong’s intimate, domestic photographs are a timely reminder of how much the viewer’s relationship with the home has been recalibrated by the pandemic, but they also articulate a balance struck between the family stories hinted at in the images and the artist’s own lived experiences. Similarly, Hipol’s paintings create visual maps that chart the journey of those experiences, and how they shape the development of identity. Both artists explore the experience of holding onto a particular family culture while growing up in the thick of another.
