'Domesticate'
Tracy Huang and Zwelisha Giampietri at Gallery 415
'Domesticate' symbolises habitation, home and family, and also the taming of something. Attached to it is the idea that something should exist in a particular way - a way that is indigenous to its surroundings. Through a series of installations, Huang and Giampietri grapple with these issues related to their own personal experiences.
Huang's dark and expressive installation encapsulates the battle involved in transferring one's mindset from an acute sense of self to developing a sense of self-acceptance. Although highly sentimental and predominantly based on childhood memories, Giampietri's work depicts a more resolute conclusion of this transition.
The exhibition as a whole is a turbulent journey, questioning the issues where self-awareness transitions into self-acceptance.
