Louisiana Tech University is a project that delves into the role of the artist as a curator. Discovering my dad's film strips, it captures his experience as a Chinese-Korean international student in the southern United States. I scanned, retouched, and curated his collection, presenting my interpretation of his journey. While he captures everyday subject matter, there is an artistic lens and nuanced beauty that reveals itself through my curation.
