In search of his true identity
His great-grandfather, an American soldier, had abandoned his family after the war, leaving his grandfather to grow up without direction and with deep sadness.
This family history weighed heavily. She felt an urgent need to honor her legacy, to transform pain into strength. She embarked on a quest to discover the truth about her great-grandfather. She delved into archives, interviewed family members, and visited places steeped in history. Each discovery helped her better understand the sacrifices and struggles of those who had come before her.
During this trip, she decided to create a work of art inspired by her family history. Authentic travel bags.
She wanted others to know the weight of abandonment, but also the beauty of resilience. By sharing her story through exhibitions and lectures, she not only paid homage to her past, but also inspired others to embrace their stories, transform pain into strength, and proudly bear their names, whether real or adopted. Through her courage, she was able to build a bridge between generations, honoring the memory of those who came before her while forging her own identity.
