A repeated gesture becomes a language of care, an articulation of touch as a labor of love. As a queer Asian American, my work is interested in connecting my own diasporic histories within the land, within the home, within the body. Identity is shaped by borders, migration, and the quiet inheritance of shared experience. I am interested in interrogating the structures that determine which narratives are preserved, inserting myself as an active participant in preserving my own history.I ask how we might listen more intently, how we might remember ourselves into wholeness. Beyond walls, beyond nation, beyond the lines we’ve drawn. Clay is elemental, the earth is flesh, bodies are vessels archiving time on this Earth.

In a century, our bodies will be no more, but our archives may persist.
