Artist‘s Statement

Writing has always been a way for me to release my emotions and better understand the complex issues I notice in the world. Therefore, my writing is often laced with nuances of my deepest emotions that sometimes I don’t even realize. They reflect the experiences that make me the person I am today. From writing about my Asian American heritage to my life commuting as a New Yorker, these experiences are uniquely mine and I would love to share them with the world.
