Abstract
Although there are still missing pieces of the puzzle, I have been able to collect and display some important pieces. The mediums I had the opportunity to work with here are acrylic paints, found objects, and archival pieces. Creating art has inspired me to think about my heritage as a transracial adoptee. I have also read books, listened to lectures, visited museums, and joined Chinese adoption groups as both a mentee and a mentor. I used canvas as my scroll because I wanted the size to be large to show the size of the landmasses. I located a used full-size brown wooden crib as representation of the beginning of my life.
