Light is an unconditional form of love.

It passes through everything that is connected by our ecosystem, from photosynthetic leaves to the deep roots and lives shadowed beneath our ground.

Wind is an enigmatic force.

It is the energy of all that continues to push and pull our communal breath from the past, present and future.

Where the Light Blows explores the grounding of the Asian diasporic body through surrendering to light and wind with written and object companions for belief, protection, grief, and belonging. Whether through wood and paper or air and time, these works illuminate, warm, rescind, and refract. They love the shadows and dance within the tense tetherings of visibility.

Remembering the delight of my own skin warmed by the golden sunlight, I saw how gently my body can hold yellowness. And yet, I rooted myself in a desire and curiosity for the day that I join the soil or become wind too.

In these pursuits for belonging, I wonder what it means to find home in both that which I cannot see and that which I always see.

All works in Where the Light Blows were made on top of the roots of the red oak trees of the Piscataway and Susquehannock nations, beneath the shadows of the Chinese ginkgo, and with the memory of the pine forests of the Musqueam Coast Salish nations.
