In Diverge, I attempt to discuss the language barriers experienced when living in a foreign country where I do not speak the predominant language. I use stenciling, repetition and layering to create a radial composition in order to echo the way that sound is transmitted in speech. Verbal communication is a way to connect with others, but misunderstanding and miscommunication can often cause trouble for those involved, especially when the parties are speaking two or more different languages.
