My artwork is a collection of poems I have written over the last year.

By acting in conversation with traditional Korean folklore, "Tenants" is a poem that highlights modern Asian and Asian American voices during a time of social unrest while examining mythos as a landmark for memory.

I was inspired by how many challenges that my best friend had to endure.

For this piece, I was inspired by Cisneros's "House on Mango Street" and her brilliant way of using short vignettes to bring individual snippets of a character's life into a coming-of-age arc.

Poetry is my means of communicating my message to others. In the following three poems I submitted, I cover my background, the complexity of society, and the beauty of humanity.

I live in a historic home, and this poem looks at the parallels of living in an old home to a family that has baggage.

My first poem is about a fond family memory; I was about 8, and whole family dressed up as The Shining characters despite us kids never having seen the movie.

Writing helps me process complex thoughts and emotions.

This piece is about not being heard when you say you are hurting and what could be a possible outcome of that.

This work is a non-fiction memoir about fear, denial, and pain. It is about my struggle with trying to accept myself and realize that while I may be different, I am not broken.

I wrote this piece in my bedroom, sick, for absolutely no real reason. It had been a long time since I'd heart about Middlemist Red, but I hadn't ever connected it to any human emotion.

This story captures the essence of my grandparents' immigrant experience and reminds us of how freedom should not be taken for granted and does not come without difficulties.

Writing, specifically creative writing, has always been important to me.

My creative writing talks about how opportunities can be life changing.

This poem is a reflection about Christmas.

When I write, I consider ways in which I can artfully and visually arrange vocabulary to create a sense, a mood--similar to a visual work of art.

Fear. I thought that there was someone who I could trust and then they became someone I didn't know anymore.

I love reading fantasy and fiction books, so I took this opportunity to write a short scenario that I would include if I were to write a nonfiction book someday.

I created this poem in response to my bottled up emotions surrounding my own family's dynamics.

Storytelling is a human function.
