asian american identity crisis

what does it mean to be asian american? in this painting and video essay, i try to approach this question by exploring orientalism, the objectification of asian women, asian american history, and my own relationship to asian american identity. navigating race, culture, and belonging is always complex and confusing – but we are not alone in this struggle :)
