ORIGIN Coffee has become deeply influential in my life. Like single-origin coffee, this can be traced back to a specific location. At 17, I started working as a Starbucks barista, and my life was shaped by the community at my store. I began learning more about coffee, a mutual interest my mother shared. Together, we experimented with roasting and brewing our own coffee, a special connection we now share. Coffee became a communal experience for my family and coworkers-turned-friends. The impact of coffee has also manifested into my art practice. It led to an interest in craft, social dynamics, and interpersonal relationships. Using the hub of a coffee shop, this show explores process, social interaction, and the aesthetic experience. It is a culmination of my coffee journey thus far, paying respect to the workplace that raised me, the personal connections I’ve made, and the experience of coffee shop culture.
