Background:
Dasha was born in Russia and came to Seattle, Washington, when she was five years old, and is where she currently sleeps, eats and draws.
Description:
I knew I wanted to incorporate roots somewhere because just like roots hold everything together, especially so much of our landscape in Washington, so do women in the home & their communities, especially in immigrant & multi-generational households. It's a big job that is critical that often goes unnoticed, unseen or just dismissed-I myself as an angsty tween didn't understand why my mom "didn't want to work" and only in my late 20s I am starting to comprehend how much women do to hold everything & everyone together.
