The Fan

—Frame series

2025, Etching, Aquatint & Soft Ground. 18 × 26 in.

This self-portrait explores duality by the “double fan”: an aperture through which we view my profile - partly concealed. I reference the chasm between my authentic self and the persona I’m prompted to portray, aligned with societal and parental expectations - a lingering legacy of ancestral China.
