Roots of Affection: Exploring Love Expressions in Asian American Families

A multimedia installation that explores the rich tapestry of love expressions within my Asian American families, extending beyond verbal affirmations, and examining how these may differ from those of my peers. Through a symphony of soundscapes crafted from interviews, an engaging interactive installation, and a spatially conscious design of the exhibition space, my project seeks to articulate these unique themes. It is an endeavor to weave together the unspoken yet deeply felt threads of familial love. The heart of this project lies in its ability to resonate with Asian Americans who experience love in unconventional, non-verbal ways. It aims to affirm that they are indeed loved and heard, even in the absence of explicit expressions. My aspiration is for visitors to emerge from the exhibition feeling a deep sense of understanding and connection, seeing their own stories reflected and validated in the narratives I share.
