Liminal
By Antalique Tran Antalique Tran is a self-taught digital illustrator and sophomore at Yale University. As a prospective Neuroscience major pursuing an MD-PhD, she currently works as an art studio aide and Peer Wellness Champion. She hopes to bridge together arts and mental health. Artist’s Statement Asian-American. Not Asian. Not American. Asian-American. We exist in this hyphen, this liminal space where we cannot fit fully into either identity, where we float between being both but also neither. My parents are Vietnamese boat refugees, and I was born in Southern Califonia. I wanted this piece to represent how it felt to grow up in both cultures. The figure stretches between lotus flowers and golden poppies, reaching to both but unable to touch either. We possess a sense of agency but simultaneously lack full control over our identities. That liminal space is what being Asian-American is. Not Asian. Not American. Both and none, synchronously. |
