Artist Statement

My art is deeply rooted in inquisition and experimentation. I use colors, forms, composition, format, material, and texture to visualize how Chinese diasporas reconstruct their identities in the United States by redefining their culture and traditions while finding comfort and groundedness through nostalgic cultural references. Situated at the intersection of visual art, literary art, environmentalism, mental health care, and gender and racial policy, my practice is archival and journalistic. By combining research, oral history, lived experience, and collective memory, I create emotionally engaging conversations with my audience to interrogate, challenge, and advance existing perceptions of women, Asian diasporas, and other immigrant populations.
