Ancestral Offerings views ideas of rituals and offerings through contextualizing culture and narratives that I grew up with. The abstraction of beauty and collections of photographs all collaged using printing techniques become center in telling the narrative. I wanted to explore ways that people memorialize and pay tribute to ancestors. Therefore, this work rethinks the role of art as an offering towards ancestors. It is the beautification of tribute, love and culture through image-making. Website | www.nugrohomegan.com Instagram | @megan_nugroho
