MomentoUS

SERIES

Since 2015, I have created photo-based sculptures  from printed images I have taken in places I have occupied and inhabited. I believe what we see around us—the landscape and buildings, the types of labor and activities, the aesthetic and technological choices and conditions—plays a role in who we are while our lineages inform how we make sense of it all. I walk and weave within urban spaces of the US while psychologically contending with generational traumas, motherlands (China and Japan) as simultaneously foreign and integrated, and my own position within histories of speculation, hierarchical race creation and colonialism. I create sculptures and images honoring the manifestations of histories, shared needs, connected conditions. The resulting objects  are psychogeographic maps that miniaturize and deconstruct structured space—a product of human labor, the authority of financialization, and modern survival. 

In 2022, I deconstructed and reconstructed my past photo-based sculptures to created new, larger scale, hanging objects. All work is hand and machine sewn.
