Islands is an interdisciplinary work combining cyanotype, Peranakan embroidery, and a reclaimed bedsheet as canvas. The piece maps fragments of family history and inherited memory, tracing the fragile and shifting threads of cultural identity. Using the cyanotype process, where light exposure leaves traces of what once was, I explore how memory and storytelling are preserved, altered, or lost across generations.
