The sculpture combines elements of rice and resin casting, representing both the homesickness and the enduring connection to their cultural roots. The fragmented figure reflects the complex emotions experienced during this time, capturing the juxtaposition of sadness and yearning. "Yearning Reflections" invites viewers to contemplate the significance of cultural traditions, the weight of absence, and the power of longing in shaping our identities.
