Somatic State Creature, watercolor illustration, 2017. This creature is part of an ongoing exploration illustrating the felt sense associated with emotions
These explore the environmental context that somatic state creatures inhabit. Cozy plants, islands, oceans, mountains, and weather systems begin to create the landscapes of our emotional diasporas.
I am a member of PARISOL, a Chinese-diaspora organization dedicated to cross-movement liberation and revolutionary international solidarity. I contribute art to actions fighting against state violence like No New Youth Jail and Northwest Detention Center Resistance.
