Paintings
As an artist, my work revolves around the intersection of identity, otherness, family, and culture.
My experience as a Chinese-American adoptee continually pushes me to consider dualities of self and examine familial relationships, particularly with my mom, Sydney. These works explore how personal heritage and connection can be found through memories that aren’t our own.
