Artist Statement
I am an artist and designer whose work explores the narratives and experiences of the war refugee. I explore multiple facets of traditional and digital research to create art that encapsulates the power of storytelling for those who have lost livelihoods to war, to begin anew.
My work explores the genres of family, nostalgia, memory, love, and loss, inspired by the experiences of my family, who moved to the United States in refuge during the fall of their home country, South Vietnam. Together, they pass down stories of their life before and their journey leaving one country for another. These experiences are similar in the narratives of all families who share this situational trauma, as conflicts continue throughout the globe.
