Immigrants come to a country with roots, but after many years away, they grow new roots in their adopted country. After 50 years in Australia, I want to depict the idea of two homes with mixed backgrounds. I love the people, the flora and fauna of Colombia and Australia. I wanted to show the differences and the similarities. Both happy places but up rooted and mixed together. When I’m there, I’m from here, and when I’m here, I from there. The style of my picture is inspired by a textile art form of a small Colombian indigenous group, The Kuna.
