Abstract
This thesis explores the evolving nature of cultural identity through the lens of my Jamaican American heritage and personal family history. Drawing on theorist Stuart Hall's understanding of identity as fluid, constructed, and shaped by history, this work investigates how diasporic narratives are remembered, reimagined, and inherited across generations. My paintings weave together symbolism, surreal environments, and abstraction to reflect the complexity of growing up in a multiracial, culturally rich Jamaican family.
