Through a combination of journalism inquiry and a fine art approach, I embark on a profound exploration of the multifaceted tapestry of societal constructs, intricately woven by the pervasive influence of capitalist ideologies and existential quandaries in our contemporary world. Rooted in my personal journey as an Asian female immigrant grappling with the complexities of American society and the pressures of belonging to the dwindling middle class as a former cancer researcher, my work serves as a poignant reflection on the detrimental norms perpetuated by capitalist paradigms.

With digital photography and inkjet printable fabric, fortified with hardened agents, I forge a distinctive visual lexicon that encapsulates the essence of our distorted eco-political landscape. The fabric itself becomes a metaphorical battleground, emblematic of the perpetual negotiation between individual identity and societal conformity on a personal level.
