Little Clown is part of my Half Asian Artifacts series of paintings and larger-than-life mixed media drawings that explore and question traditional art historical narratives, and hopefully contribute to a broader discourse on identity, representation, and the impact of consumer culture.

Influenced by a history of art that rarely portrays someone who looks like me, my work aims to encapsulate the shared experience of those who find themselves negotiating the delicate balance between an erased cultural heritage and the ever-evolving present.
