Taken in Santa Barbara California, this shot is of an awsesome bamboo roof letting a tiny bit of light through. The light is amplified by the fixture hanging from the ceiling.

After attending my first LGBTQ+ wedding, I realized that we are establishing history, constructing a world where individuals can love, live, explore and celebrate individuality. I made this polychromatic piece to display the courage of the LGBTQ+ community over the past 50 years. Since the Stonewall uprising, activists advocating for equal rights for members of all races, classes, genders, ethnicities, partners, and identities continue to prevail. I subdivided the groups and bodies to represent the many identities that make up this diverse community. While encountering setbacks, the figures' postures remain resilient. Some of the bodies in the collection have identifiable colors and emblems from flags used by the PRIDE community. As support continues to expand, more communities are coming out. I added figures with color schemes currently unrecognizable to personify future, unidentified groups finding support and unity in the PRIDE community. I also illustrated figures with bodies colored with allyship flags to characterize the importance of heterosexual and cisgender people advocating for equality for the LGBTQ+ community. The composition emits courage and PRIDE through a band of rainbow colors in bodies and transforming environments.

"Man In Between Two Fences," Spray Paint, oil paint, mixed media on masonite, 3'x4'
​This is a portrait of a homeless man that I took around my neighborhood, Koreatown and embellished.  He is walking and slightly trapped in between two fences.  The picture is also dark and light.  There is a dark sky in the background, and his face is the light of the painting.  He also has a heart where his heart is, and a rainbow above his pocket.  A house that he doesn’t have is in the background with smoke coming out of the chimney.  There are different types of flowers growing to represent growth, and a rainbow over a dripping cloud to symbolize a new day.  The sign in the background is like a street sign, and I often use them in my paintings with no writing, to show them literally as a sign, and to show that the man is going nowhere, or for us to wonder what that sign means.  There is also a cloud on his shirt to represent the gloom of his mood.  My painting is trying to portray a person in a metaphysical manner.

Orange Red Dot, 2020

29 x 24 1/2 x 1/4 in (74 x 62 x 0.6 cm)
Orange Red Dot is one of those paintings that at the time when it was considered ready (August 22, 2020) the entire strong concept had to be adjusted to fit a miniscule property called, portability... The initial piece was envisioned to reside on several surfaces: (1) canvas, (2) plywood, and the additional surface of (3) the wall where half of the circle was initially supposed to be painted on. But the portability element had to be considered, and the levels became: (1) canvas, (2) plywood, (3) canvas, (4) plywood where simple elements reside in harmony within the given space as shapes and colors. True to the 2-D, 3-D philosophy, surface elements are manipulated to become three dimensional with an additional philosophical dimension: the title has the word "orange" crossed out, suggesting a drastic change as well as the residue of a previous thought, making the red-orange dynamic a dimension not to be ignored. The viewer will undoubtedly consider replacing red with orange in his mind trying to match the piece's title.

The Summer Petals Shawl is crocheted with one large skein of fine cotton color-changing yarn. This project is an original design I created to showcase the yarn's color changes and  it's unique shape that easily stays on your shoulders.  The stitches consist of tall cluster stitches stacked together to create a "petal illusion" that look like several intertwined flowers.
