Artist Statement: In this artwork, I wanted to express myself and really embrace my cultural identity as an Asian American living in Chicago. I wanted to incorporate aspects that represent my Chinese culture, the Willis Tower to represent Chicago as my home, and other events that have impacted me during my life. This is important to me because as I am coming of age and entering adulthood, I’m going to experience a lot of different things which will eventually help me grow and shape me into who I am today.
