The collages use texts and sentences cut off from ESL materials arranged on mirrors and neon color paper. Intentionally only using materials common in classrooms such as papers, pencils, staples, highlighters, and post-its, this series of collages reference the ESL study experience. These pieces consider how cultural displacement can be seen in language and the issues of translation, and lost-in-translation. The reflective surfaces of this work invite the viewers to find their relationships with the arranged texts with their own reflections, physically and intellectually.
