Flo Oy Wong is a visionary artist whose work embodies profound connections with personal, familial, and communal histories. Her art honors people's stories of lived experience - stories of resistance, survival, healing, and personal and social transformation. Keeping ancestral memory alive, she reminds us that we are the ancestors of the future as she sows seeds of wisdom for future generations.
