Artist Statement
As a bisexual Asian American artist with ADHD who has lived in over four cultures, I have observed the importance of telling my story and uplifting others to share their story. My identity has been challenged in every culture and country I have lived in and I use art as a medium of sharing my experience in hopes to start conversations and create connections despite differences.
Sculptures demand attention, interaction, and exploration from the viewer. My sculptures should be experienced in many angles just like how people need to be experienced in many perspectives to be able to fully understand the intricacies of what makes us human.
Theatre operates in a similar way and can bring a community of people to experience art together. As a theatre artist and technician, I can provide my skills and craft to tell stories about the human experience as well as uplifting and supporting other artists in the process.
