ARTIST STATEMENT:
“Expectations” reflects my recollections of coming to the United States. I arrived here in 1976 as a teenager. It was an exciting yet daunting time since we had no family nearby. I had many expectations for myself as well as having to deal with what others expected of me. Oftentimes we have a way of pigeonholing people based on who they are, where they come from, and what they look like. “Expectations” is one of those instances.
