Past Installation work

"Resonance and Rebirth", Performance Art and Installation Art. This piece was exhibited at Steven Scott Gallery, SF. It was a collaboration with a Pakistani Artist Saba Hussain and myself with the help of others. The materials used was mainly jute and other mixed medium.

"Marry Me Into Freedom, a Nisei Experience" focused on pre-World War II Japanese nationals migrating to America. This was a semi-finalist at Pro-Arts Gallery Annual Jurried Show and also exhibited later at the National Japanese American Historical Society in SF. Interactive installation art that prompted gallery visitors to poke a hole in the shoji screen box to peek inside at the illuminating rice paper dress.

"Tape" Medium is 1/2" masking tape.




"Licking Seaweed....again" Installation and Interactive Video Art. Hanging screens were made from paper and other media. Video projection in the center was triggered by people's movement in the gallery space.



"Alien Born in US". Mixed Media Installation Art at Oella Gallery in Ellicott City, MD. This exhibition consisted of two parts. One is hanging bookarts that exhibited stories of displaced Japanese Americans, and the second are growing seedlings in a diaper container.
