EPIPHYTES
An exploration of women in migration — fragile like flowers, yet resilient enough to grow toward the light in unfamiliar places
Epiphytes takes its title from plants that grow on other plants without harming them, drawing nourishment from the surrounding environment. This project reflects on movement, adaptation, and the search for belonging through the stories of women who have left their native places and built lives in new cities and countries.
Inspired by the journeys of my sisters and other women close to me, the work sees them as epiphytes: seemingly delicate, yet deeply strong, capable of surviving, transforming, and finding support in changing conditions. Their migration is both necessity and evolution — a path away from familiar ground and toward new forms of home, identity, and resilience.
