In this collage series, Nieh Familia.I pulled from my family’s archive of family photographs not only to embody the history of my Puerto Rican, Chinese, and American roots but also to actively rewrite that family legacy. By adding color where there is none, by scrawling campaign slogans over lines of poetry written by my grandmother, or by using everyday objects to disrupt the historical image, I try to complicate familiar immigrant narratives, rewriting them to reveal how popular and historical imagery intersect to shape personal and cultural identity. In my disruptions I hope to suggest that these are ongoing processes informed by loss, trauma, humor, and love that together result in the complexity of lived experience.
