So,here you aretoo foreign for hometoo foreign for here.never enough for both. (Diaspora Blues - By Ijeoma Umebinyuo)
I exist in an "in-transit" state, perpetually hovering between worlds, as I navigate physical and emotional borders that define my life. With my student visa nearing expiration, I confront the uneasy question of belonging—neither fully rooted in my birthplace of Thailand nor my adopted home in the United States. My series The In-Between delves into this internal conflict, exploring identity straddling multiple worlds. Diaspora reflects on global migration, while Rights of Passage challenges perceptions of freedom. These works aren't conclusions but beginnings—an invitation to viewers to explore their own in-between spaces and question where they truly belong.
