Statement Sentence about the three works presented

In my work, I’ve been examining my own personal experiences studying abroad in America as a Chinese student and the homesickness I feel for my family, my community, and my culture. I use the fluidity of watercolor and the flexibility of clay to shape my memory back home and to express my feelings of nostalgia. In doing so, I explore my own identity development and my belonging.
