Woven, Irene Ho Watercolor, poster color, color pencil, procreate, 2023. In this piece, I draw inspiration from the rich tradition of embroidery within the Atayal tribe, particularly focusing on the cultural significance of bracelets. Beyond being mere adornments, these bracelets serve as profound symbols of the Atayal people's cultural heritage, intricately woven with values that resonate through each piece. Emphasizing the matriarchal essence of many Taiwanese indigenous communities, where females hold significant roles in practices such as weaving, these bracelets become a testament to the powerful unity fostered by the skilled hands of the women who, through their craftsmanship, establish profound bonds within the tribe.

The Anxiety of Being, Irene Ho Charcoal, 2023. In this subsequent piece exploring my evolving self, I delve into a contrasting emotional landscape, transitioning from a calmer state to one fraught with internal chaos. The play of light on only half of my face now reflects an undercurrent of anxiety, where the previously lighthearted expression on the left side is overshadowed by a palpable unease. The deliberate use of a black-and-white palette intensifies the internal struggle, blurring lines between versions of myself with stark contrast, creating a polarized representation that emphasizes the absence of a middle ground, mirroring the blurred and dynamic nature of my identity existing solely within the realms of black and white.

Imprint of Exploitation, Irene Ho Linoleum, ink, 2023. The artwork's linoleum print depicts the tragic deception of Taiwanese indigenous people who were deceived to exchange their valuable land for lesser value land due to language barriers and oppression. Their agreement, sealed with fingerprints on contracts, is captured. The tree stump symbolizes not only the loss of their land to industrialization but also the erosion of cherished memories and cultures hidden in its rings. See the Artist Request Usage
