“Finding and creating identity is an important part of growth in life. In my work, I explore what it means to search for oneself in places where structure and chaos collide. I strive to explore the feelings and challenges one faces in the struggle to claim a place in society. My work deals with our constant search for “it” as I believe that there will always be a battle within us to create that perfect identity. Cultures, societies, tribes, all have different expectations of how people should be. My work explores these feelings that come about when we are trying to figure out who we are and why we are here.”— Pia Coronel
