In this paper sculpture diptych, the artist explores her mixed-race heritage by examining ancestral hometowns on both sides of her family: the Northern Minnesotan town of Two Harbors on the left, and the Gujarati fishing town of Diu on the right. This work illustrates a number of dichotomies that shaped her experience of being mixed: the nuclear family versus large, interconnected communities, individualism versus collectivism, and isolation versus enmeshment.
