Path to Triple Happiness
“The Path to Triple Happiness,” etching with chine-collé, 15x15”, 2023.
This etching is an overprinted design of two maps I constructed using images of locations correlating to cities and neighborhoods in which either myself or my paternal grandmother lived. On one side of the copper plate used for this etching, I made a composite map of three locations she lived in: Toizan, Hong Kong, and Baldwin, New York. On the other side are my hometown in the Hudson Valley, New York, the greater Boston Area, and Madrid, Spain. The design extends outwards from each place of residence, creating an obscured and idiosyncratic (maybe even useless) guide. Although I never met my grandmother, I do believe that we all possess the power to rethink and construct our relationships, creating meaningful connections that might not at first be obvious. Regardless of the great distances we may find ourselves at, there always exists the potential to reimagine and bring close the many paths we traverse within a lifetime — to find our way home again through the labyrinth.
