The Ferry Building Gallery is delighted to present Where are we now? a group exhibition that delves into locating the self through the act of creation.

In their sculpture, Coral Patola explores the complexities and intersectionality of their identity: the immigrant culture of Chinese Canadians, the Southeast Asian diaspora of Singapore and Malaysia, and their paternal Ukrainian heritage. Through sculpting and surface decoration, their work becomes a form of escapism inspired by their personal narratives and internal landscapes. Coral proudly identifies as not halves of cultures but a whole, entirely mixed identity.

Artist Statement
Each panel is a story, and a short one because it’s only a small work. I see them as visual haikus, Tarot cards, dream fragments. They are complete in themselves—as metaphorical vignettes of my life and as an endless sequence of magical synchronicities. They are images that appear daily in my mind. They are the picture book of my life. They are hung in a random sequence.

Each panel is neither a memory nor an anticipation. It simply reflects the energy of your eyes at the very moment you see it. You give your attention, and in return, it gives you a story of your own.
