Can you talk more about the process and

inspiration behind your rug making?

I’m living away from my parents right now

and I think I find myself making a lot of

Asian symbols in my rugs because I miss

home. I feel cut off from my family, my

community, and my culture, so I keep

returning to these motifs as a space of

comfort. Like I mentioned earlier, rug

making is a medium that I’ve maintained

as strictly for me, and for fun, and so I feel

freer to just make things that are more

visually driven rather than conceptually

driven. I’m allowing myself to be more

self-indulgent and make things that I

want to make, even if it’s just copying the

design of a white rabbit candy wrapper.

But I will definitely say that there is

something comforting about filling my

living space with so! symbols that remind

me of home.
