I depict a female Buddha who contemplates the immense disparities in wealth and opportunities of this world. Is letting go of desire and the worldly emotions, and to retreat inward into an internal state of peace the way to solve these problems that still exist in the world? Or should the female Buddha, aka the Asian goddess, take action by becoming a warrior and fighting her way to achieve her goals? I used my own hair as the female Buddha's skimpy bang consisting of 3~5 strands of hair.

My figurative acrylic paintings depict me as a woman in fantasy and an animal figure that represents subdued masculinity. In depicting myself as a woman and a male animal, I follow the role model of the Japanese onnagata in Kabuki Theatre, who alternate between masculine and feminine persona in private and public. I also oppose the whitewashing and racialization of beauty in popular culture by pursuing a hybrid beauty that borrows from different people and cultures in order to resist the white beauty as an iconic center. Major contemporary influences include Lee, Quede; Yasumasa Yorimura; Tunji Adeyini-Jones; and Sara Anstis. Historical artists such as Picasso, Matisse, Modigliani, and Gauguin also made a strong impression in my young self. My art manifests as a colorful vision of a cis man becoming a woman, and it exists on the middle ground of ambiguity in which I constantly pursue femininity on the canvas yet I never arrive in reality.
