As a visual artist from New York, I’ve spent years studying how Asian women are seen—and often misunderstood—in the frame. This piece isn’t about a model in a grey slip dress; it’s about the weight behind her stillness, the tension in her gaze. Behind every image lies a story not told by poses, but by presence. Let’s talk about what gets erased when we reduce beauty to ‘perfect legs’ or ‘sexy lighting.’ Because sometimes, the most radical act is simply being seen—without performance.

As a visual artist navigating the tension between representation and authenticity, I reflect on the moment when a body in water becomes more than a spectacle. This isn’t about ‘bathroom wetness’ or ‘perfect buttocks’—it’s about stillness, self-possession, and the quiet rebellion of being seen without permission. In this piece, I unpack how image-making can transform vulnerability into sovereignty. For those who’ve ever felt their identity was reduced to a pose: you are not an aesthetic. You are an experience.

As a New York-based visual artist of Chinese descent, I’ve spent years exploring how Asian women are seen—and unseen—in global imagery. This piece reflects on a striking photo series from 2020: a woman named Egg-尤妮丝, draped in an elegant gown on a tropical beach, her full figure celebrated not as spectacle but as sacred presence. In this reflection, I unpack the quiet rebellion in her gaze—how beauty can be both soft and defiant. It’s not about perfection; it’s about ownership. And yes, that includes the way we frame our own bodies.
