Navigating Fires

Created for East Village Walls in Chinatown, NYC. This wall speaks to the precarious ecological and social situation that these figures must navigate. Set in a dark wooded area in a densely urban surrounding as an escape from the societal pressures and stigmatization Asians face(d) in and post-COVID, only to find fires are there as well.
