展示場所: Target gallery Alexandria, VA


Concept: The performance “Look at me” comes from my loneliness from being apart from my home country and difficulties in communication due to English being my second language. Repeated misunderstandings made me frustrated but made me eager to try to communicate with people via other means such as my art instead. Through my art, I would like people to reconsider what ‘communication’ means.

I created a table that holds a frosted plate of sheet glass between myself and a participant. When seated behind the glass, we were unable to see each other.  

I licked the sheet glass to reveal myself to the participant. Licking is an intense way of showing my desire to break through the barrier, the frosted glass, and communicate.
