Sarah Choo Jing & Pepon Osorio

“Sarah explores an important human “intersection,” that of the family, and how we are often disconnected from one another, solitary within our own homes. Separated by walls and personal musings, family members exist alongside one another without connecting.”

(Synkroniciti, 2022)

“My experience as a caseworker became my artistic

practice. All that I learned became my methodology—

making real artwork with real experiences and people.”

  • Pepón Osorio, MOMA 2022
