"Sampan explores the function of Chinatown as a figurative oasis for the lives, history, and culture of the Chinese people. The words of community members are inscribed on the benches, translated into English, Chinese and Braille in an effort to give these stories access to a broader audience. Inspired by the form of the boat, the rocking motion at the fulcrum of each bench evokes universal feelings of support, bringing to mind the nurturing cradle of the womb." - Ponnapa Prakkamakul
