Ornament is universal and dynamic. We craft it to surround our lives and it, in turn, shapes our culture and heritage. ‘REMINISCE’ is a series of digital art works that explores the boundaries of ornament and culture from Victoria Fard-Young’s South East Asian and Middle Eastern heritage. It explores how the expressive nature of ornament tells stories, generates experiences, and carries one’s cultural identity on to future generations. As emergent forms of fabrication overpower the values of our heritage, we must remember the guiding principles that helped form our history and culture. Using digital tools to re-imagine our past, the series uses colours and patterns from these heritages to embody, amplify, and preserve the beauty of ornament. ‘REMINISCE’ features mini stories written by SHAKERSZWORLD.
