Quest for Identity

Ishita Islam, a graduate student pursuing a Studio Art major at Miami University, submitted Quest for Identity to the Student Response Exhibition. The painting represents emotions of migration, safety, and change.

Islam states that “every ordinary person has to go through diverse experiences, feelings and situations in their lives. We try to connect our different versions of ourselves with a linear balance to make it sound and settle our identity.” She used her experience with migration from Bangladesh to America to highlight the “togetherness of individual parts of… identity” through changes and challenges in Quest for Identity.
