Mekong and Memory 1996

Joyce Kozloff's "Mekong and Memory" from 1996 is a mixed media artwork comprised of a large central panel surrounded by two vertical panels containing collaged images. The central panel depicts an abstract, colorful composition with geometric shapes and swirling patterns. This piece is part of a larger series of works exploring the artist's interest in the confluence of history, memory, and cultural identity. The work's title and composition suggest connections to the Mekong River and its surrounding regions, drawing upon themes of travel, memory, and cultural exchange.
