Same Soil

Mae C.

  • This artwork focuses on the way America treats me as someone who is Asian. It's been made obvious to me on numerous occasions that my heritage makes some people disgusted and enraged because I don't conform to their ideal vision of America. It's always been difficult to choose how I want to live my life when there's always pressure to conform and be submissive.

  • Expressing my creativity allows me to make sense of my emotions and thoughts. It gets them out of my head and helps me to process things without being completely overwhelmed.
