Every colour holds a story. Some fall in whispers, others drift in light, and together they create the shifting canvas of our shared world.

In the labyrinth of our own existence, we find ourselves entangled in the intricate web of a precarious and fragile world. A reality that constantly shifts beneath our feet is leaving us in a perpetual state of alienation and an overwhelming sense of not belonging in this world anymore.
Queer Asian American artist with short hair and an undercut standing with their art installation. The artwork is a large oval table whose surface is inlaid with green and red wood carvings that resemble jade. There are woodblock prints in the background on a vermilion red wall. The installation is from Jenie Gao's series entitled, The Negotiation Table. The series draws attention to the history of Europeans' obsession with finding a shorter route to Asia, which catalyzed their colonization of Turtle Island / North America. The Negotiation Table forges connections between local and global colonial events, to strengthen our collective long-term memories in the pursuit of justice. #portfolioday #installationart Photo by Khim Hipol
Queer Asian American artist with short hair and an undercut standing to the right of their art installation. The artwork centers on a diptych of woodblock prints in shades of blue, depicting the artist's migration route overlaid with an iris flower. There are two tables on each side of the diptych, made from the hand-carved woodblocks that made the prints. Mirrored tiles on the floor make the light reflect and shimmer on the artwork.

Queer Asian American artist with short hair and an undercut wearing an inky lab coat and pulling a large woodblock print off a printing press. The print is shaped like half an ellipse and is in the colors green and red, designed to resemble hand carved jade, and features a homing pigeon in the center of the artwork.

I run an anti-gentrification arts business and consult for orgs on equity and ethics. I have bones to pick re: fair labor practices + institutional accountability.
