Throughout Maia Cruz Palileo’s oeuvre are gestural reflections on both familial oral history and colonial documents. Heavily influenced by photographs and stories related to their family’s migration from the Philippines to the United States, Palileo’s work initially explored their own personal archives. They dressed their figures in patterns drawn from their aunt’s shirts and decorated interiors reminiscent of the house their grandmother grew up in. Several paintings, such as Afterward (2019), take place in classrooms, referencing both American re-education campaigns and Palileo’s maternal grandmother’s occupation as an English teacher.
