Emily Su, 2025
Acrylic on canvas
36x24 in.
The fifth work in The Visitors series shifts to adulthood, confronting the inheritance of trauma. A woman pushes a stroller, her expression vacant as bunnies—once protectors—now fall from the sky like burdens. Their weight presses upon her, embodying the residual heaviness of memory. Half-transformed into the creatures herself, she mirrors the cycle she cannot escape, passing on what she cannot face. The piece captures the generational echo of trauma, and how unspoken wounds persist, reshaping identity and lineage alike.
