Artist’s description:
I created the work FACES in 1993 for the BWAC Exhibition Space in Red Hook, Brooklyn. Driven by everyday reality as an Asian-American living in NYC under the intensity of the pandemic, I wanted to repurpose the five faces as a site-specific installation for the Art Off-Screen public art project. I placed the work underneath the front door steps to suggest feelings of social invisibility and hidden emotions so much a part of the Asian and Asian-American experiences when confronted by fear, racial and political attacks, cultural misunderstandings and exclusion. In addition to this project, I also created a new video called EYES. It was projected onto the Manhattan Bridge in Dumbo, Brooklyn, in the summer of 2020.
