Squeeze Me In

Squeeze Me In explores the essence of identity, adaptation, and belonging through material investigations in textile and fiber. The installation translates the experiences of migrant bodies using rigilene and glass beads as visual interpretations of movement, acceptance, fitting-in, and the navigation of unfamiliar cultural landscapes. Employing manipulative, undulating forms, the work examines how bodies must contort, compress, and reshape themselves to find space in foreign environments
