Traveling is my personal quest to recreate a new identity for myself in a
short time span and to contemplate the dualities of my identity that have
coursed through me and whispered queries into my ear: What if you were
raised in the East - where you would finally be part of the majority? Would
you be happier? Would you feel less inferior? Would you have climbed the
societal ladder quicker?
Despite being born and raised in Texas, I have never found myself fully
identifying with this place – this country – nor having a desire to firmly
plant my roots here as many of my other Asian peers tended to naturally do
without any questioning or curiosity of the what-if’s laying outside our
borders. This concrete jungle is at one pole a safe haven handed to me by
the toils of my immigrant parents; at the other, a region bere! of sensory
and visual stimulation that leaves me feeling hollow.
I unexpectedly found solace from canceled travels this year and ‘escaped’
this city by turning to an unlikely source of comfort – Chinese watercolor
paintings.
