I consider myself to be a feminist and my sculptures to be platforms for dialogues about women. My work intuitively expresses my thinking about Eastern Asian culture in general, and my own life as an Eastern Asian woman, in particular. I focus on intimacy and privacy, as well as women’s roles throughout history.
