Selfportrait Installations
2022, Site specific installationsThrough a daily practice of drawing self-portraits, I play with possibilities of self-presentation but also with the imperative to give countenance to identities that have long been excluded or marginalized. Growing up in a diaspora, I did not have many South-East Asian (and queer) role models presented to me through media, public life, culture or national history.
With the selfportrait installations I am showing myself publicly while at the same time emphasising the friction between myself and the architecture that surrounds me. Am I the outsider looking in or the insider looking out?
