My current practice explores ideologies of the Asian feminine identity and lived experience. Some key terms that have and continue to embody my work include: personhood, social media, liberation, false liberation, group identity, Orientalism, Ornamentalism, adolescence, age, affection, imitation, substitution, authenticity, visual aesthetics, perfection, beauty, perception, fragility, value, commonality, preservation, objectification, prosperity, wealth, value, choice, confusion, guilt, uncertainty, kinship, social life, and humiliation.
With many thanks to the Ontario Arts Council, who generously support my research and practice as an emerging artist.
