ARTIST STATEMENT

A few years ago, when pandemic started Asian Hate issues are all over the news. And nowadays you can see videos all over the internet over asian culture and practices they don’t do as if demanding Asian people to explain why we are doing those. Stereotyping us, mocking us, making us jokes. But despite this I believe that love will still thrive because despite all of those more non-Asian people appreciates, defends and say our culture and practices makes sense. But anyways, this piece in addition to love has no gender I also want to say love has no race, religion, color or culture. In the eyes of love all of us are equal.
