About this artwork

Symbolic imagery surrounds a poised woman, exploring themes of memory and identity. Photographs adorn her black dress, while birds and botanical elements bring life to her space. Artist Darlene McElroy explains that our DNA, passed down through countless generations, shapes who we are. Like cooking with spices, we are a little of this and a little of that.
