The following four pieces are the photos I submitted for the Southeast Asian Graduation Art Collection. It was also displayed at the musical jam "Night of Cultural Resistance." If anything, I'm quite proud of each piece (and I rarely say that for any of my photos). Anyway, hope you enjoy it more than I have enjoyed capturing it. =) Viva photography!

Title: A Part, Yet Apart
This photo was taken during my half year experience in my ethnic homeland – Vietnam. It was during my stay that I began to rediscover my identity and what it meant to be Viet Kieu (English translation for “Vietnamese American). In my eyes, an identity that lives between the borderlands of America and Vietnam. Near the end of my trip I met three boys whom I spent most of my morning with. The boy in the middle wearing the Where’s Waldo shirt told me about his personal and family experiences. It was through them that I began feel full circle with my identity and although we shared the same history and culture, we are still an ocean apart.
