A love letter to my grandparents

We are all searching to find our self-identity but maintaining a sense of self is almost impossible in an era of liquid modernity, where we flow through life like tourists. We change places, cultures, values, and relationships, even our identity can get lost in the desire for constant growth. It leaves us in an identity crisis where we do not feel any sense of belonging. In times like these, I find comfort in looking inwards and backward to my roots: My grandparents who still teach me about life with over 300 years of wisdom. This intergenerational collection is a dedicated to my four grandparents and the beauty of passing down knowledge, craft, and memories. It is also a re-discovery of my authentic self-identity.
