Senny Mau
Artist Statement
Growing up I struggled with my identity, I disliked being Chinese, and my family traditions. With no interests in the culture or my history, I wanted to fit in. I was embarrassed and I hated myself for being different. It wasn't until recently that I realized my presence and safety was conditional, I am indeed a Chinese American. ππ°π·π¦ ππ’π―π¨πΆπ’π¨π¦ is a way to for me to celebrate my kin. I am unlearning internalized racism and understanding the hardship that my family have faced leaving their home to live in a new land that never truly accepts them.
