Overlapping is where boundaries blur where allowing multiple layers to reveal hidden connections. Overlapping happens in my life: Chinese and English, baibai (ancestor worship) and praying, collective family unity and individualism. There's an intimate connection with the human touch that adds another layer of meaning.

Graphic design draws me into the physical world, where I explore texture, form, and function. There's an intimate connection with the human touch that adds another layer of meaning.
