Artist Statement

I am a world-builder.

I create worlds in which women are safe and respected, celebrated for their courage and creativity. As a Chinese-American woman, I am keen on cultivating spaces that amplify the stories, contributions, and impact of Asian women – both historical and contemporary – through art, music, and storytelling. I do this by weaving together research on various disciplines, including folklore, history, and musicology, with reflections of my own experiences to create a better future.

 My work responds to the following questions:

• What does a “true home” – a fulfilled sense of belonging – look like for Asian women?

• What elements are necessary to cultivate this space/s so that Asian women can reach above the stars, overcome the impossible, and push beyond societal expectations?

• How do we create these spaces where Asian women are recognized as powerful forces of change and transformation?
