About
Gena takes photos in locations that have a link to her childhood memories. She uses these to make digital collages that are transformed into 3D hand cut paper collages and wooden transfers. Her work creates narratives and also touches on surreal and fantasy elements. This then unfolds and presents her longing to be a part of her Japanese heritage through creating idyllic worlds.
Piecing together her two cultural backgrounds, Gena emphasises being torn between two worlds; contrasting the past and present.
