Integration

Deryn van der Tang

Mixed Media, and collage

In a season shaped by changing eyesight, my work has become an exploration of renewal. Returning to portraits created over many years, I have cut, rearranged, and reformed them, blending fragments with pastel into new, unified compositions.

My theme this year is integration, which reflects my desire to honor the people who have shaped my life. Each piece gathers these connections into a single visual narrative of belonging.

Rooted in the promise of restoration (Joel 2:25), this work is a quiet testimony that nothing is lost, only transformed, and made new.
