"Growing up as an Asian American has not been easy for me and often, I tried to distance myself from my Taiwanese heritage. The worst moments of my life have been marked by feeling alienated and being discriminated against. From kindergarten to present day, there have been countless times where I have felt emotionally damaged. That pain still lingers. It continues to fester, but it prompts me to create artwork that reveals the biased ways in which the world has discriminated against me." - Rachel Chen
