In Flux
Artist: Meighan Morson
I think of myself as having two homes: as the palace of my birth and the place of my upbringing is not synonymous. Canada, and Trinidad and Tobago — A significant amount of my life has been spent travelling between both places, experiencing, relishing and immersing myself in two distinct cultures. This is why I find myself constantly in flux, as I feel my life’s trajectory change as I travel. I consider this phenomenon a very integral part of shaping me into the person I am today. As a result of this experience — an experience I believe is highly relatable to members of the diaspora— I have come to place high value in the life skills of adaptability and resilience.
