Remembering our ancestors
Linda Sok's practice draws upon the Khmer diaspora from which she is descendant. Through her practice, Sok looks to locate herself within the contemporary Australian context following the migration of her parents from Cambodia. The Khmer Rouge remains the transformative point at which her parents became refugees and thus her practice often attempts to comprehend the traumatic period that led up to their migration. Using beauty and aesthetics to softly reveal these traumatic histories, Sok creates a space for memorialisation.
