As an immigrant from Vietnam deeply indebted to my adopted country, I believe that, at no other time, our society is more torn between different ideologies, our democracy more on the verge of dissolution, interpersonal relationships more frayed. 

​

As an artist confronting such realities, I express my horror, shock, revulsion, at what we, as a nation, have lost, or in the danger of losing (climate change, pandemic, criminal justice, human rights, racism, disinformation, gun violence, etc…) while  conveying joy, hope and wonder at what we have interpersonally found (love, healing, community, creativity.)
