Dragonflies and barbwire represent my thoughts on the meaning of freedom in the context of a refugee camp. While I freely “flew” with dragonflies along a camp fence, the dragonflies could weave in and out in a way I couldn’t.

Description
About the collection: Wandering Day Dreams
Wandering Day Dreams is a journey of simple acceptance of what was, what is and what will be.
Artist Makara Thach Sernett observes moments in her colorful personal history much like how she observes passing clouds: with wistful fondness and acceptance.
By getting lost in hazy memories of a childhood in Thai refugee camps, biking along rice paddies in Vietnam and the challenging reality of being an immigrant, Makara eventually is found in daydreams. She finds love for her naive younger self, and embraces her complex adult self through simple observation.
