Artist Statement

I created this artwork to show that, while seated side by side, a mother and her two daughters each escape into their own digital worlds. The piece reflects the silent distance technology creates. Despite sharing the same space, they experience life differently, shaped by age, identity, and emotional needs. “Embracing Our Differences” means recognizing not just visible differences, but also how we connect, feel, and communicate.
