'Family Foundation' explores generational trauma passed down a symbolic family tree– a fragile bionetwork that can easily be tainted by toxic soils and souls. The figure, with its head tucked between its legs, is a subliminal representation of mental and physical strain. There is a cut out in the back allowing roots to grow out, symbolising the human nervous system and connecting generational trauma to genetics. This plant, a cauliflower, is also featured in the painting, referencing the hundreds of years of genetic breeding that ended in its creation. A surreal scene, I see myself in faces of farmed flora.
