| Women Who Are Asian Immigrants: The Seen and Unseen is a series of painted portraits of Asian
immigrant women. The series is based on the artist’s interactions with the women whom she invited to
participate and interviewed with. The work explores the topics of migration, displacement, identity,
and humanity. The goal for this project is to reveal Asian immigrant women’s individuality, their fluid
identities in different aspects of their lives; their mental states that relate to their lived experiences,
their spirits, dignity, resilience, and shared humanity.
