These interconnected objects which forms a wearable brooch are responses to cultural and geographic spaces about my personal identity through the exploration of materiality. The ideas explore the geographical spaces between my Australian and Asian connections and the in-between nature and cultures. The work is an ensemble of mixed graphic material elements representing past and current ideas. It intersects when it is worn on the body through a pin join method. Thus making it a brooch.
