The Rabbit Wants to Be a Musician
2024 drawing
35 x 86 inches
Composite drawing of ink, pastel, pencil, and colored pencil on paper
This work explores the complex relationship between desire, inspiration, and self-doubt in becoming an artist . As a queer, Asian, and non-academically trained creator, I frequently question whether I, as an "outsider," can ever truly be recognized as "an artist." The rabbit image becomes my metaphorical stand-in, reflecting my vulnerability and sense of alienation when confronting artistic institutions and mainstream narratives.
