Part 1: Poster
Throughout my childhood, I frequently relocated to new places, which required me to develop the skill of adaptability. This poster symbolizes the time when I first arrived in the United States, where I felt insignificant in this vast, unfamiliar land. However, I take pride in my accomplishments and personal growth since then. My intention was to offer support to individuals who may be going through a similar struggle and let them know that they are not alone. I wanted to inspire hope that they can overcome their challenges and ultimately become the person they are proud of.

Part 2: Static to Motion
"Be the light in the dark of this danger"
This poster builds upon the previous one by incorporating music and animation to convey a deeper message. When I first moved to a new environment, I realized that I had to rely on myself to overcome the challenges that came my way. As a pre-teen, I also felt a responsibility to serve as a guiding light for my family, who struggled to acclimate to the new culture and language. It was up to me to bridge the gap between our two worlds, and that was my responsibility "till the sun comes up".

Part 3: Installation
I installed the flag at Questrom School of Business, where numerous flags are exhibited throughout the building that serve a similar purpose. Additionally, the sculpture situated above the flags represents the harmonious relationship between diverse cultures from around the world.
