Lily Chen - Fitting vs Belonging

Media
Artist Statement

Belonging is often associated with fitting in, but do you really need to meet specific requirements to belong somewhere? in my picture you can see a puzzle missing a single piece, filling this whole is a light. the piece isn't the same cardboard cutout necessary to complete the puzzle but does it still belong? it makes the puzzle more interesting and even though it stands out the light still fills the empty space and even more. this shows that just because we aren't exactly what people expect doesn't mean we don't belong and sometimes we can make the situation better.
