I Feel Heavy but the Wind Moves Me is a layered exploration of the weight of cultural identity—deep-rooted values, heritage, and ancestral memory—held against the backdrop of a constantly shifting world. The work reflects the emotional dissonance of being grounded in one’s cultural legacy while feeling unanchored by the pressures of adaptation and change. This piece grapples with the tension between stability and surrender, asking what it means to carry so much while being moved so easily. It questions the worth and finality of identity in flux, where the self is both anchored and airborne—searching for balance in a space that never stays still.
