Living as an Asian Girl
Data visualisation
2016
A series of three visual manifestations mapping the personal experience of living as an Asian Australian woman wedged between two ideals. Born out of discontent, the project is an effort to reveal the confusion and frustration that many Asian women living in Western societies experience, our difficulty in reconciling with conflicting identities, and its subsequent effect on our psychological well-being.
The posters are situated within a familial, social, and digital space populated by autonomous reflections and social relations. The data presented emerge from a context of understanding informed by popular culture, social media, and internet memes.
Exhibited in the Casula Powerhouse Exhibition ‘What’s the Meme-ing of this?’ from Dec 2016–Feb 2017.
Recently acquired as part of the permanent collection in the Australian Chinese Museum, Victoria.
