Acknowledgements:

 

Many thanks to Professor Shin, for her great wisdom and eloquence in leading interactive discussions on ethnicity and identity formation. Her encouragement and guidance help shape the development and expansion of critical thinking, as well as inquisitive explorations across mediums and genres.

 

Also, I am highly grateful for the diversity of experiences and narratives shared by my peers this semester. Everyone made truly great contributions to thought-provoking discussions both in and out of class. I have learned much from their comments and interpretations of different works, which informed many of the concepts used in the final project.

 

Lastly, I appreciate all of the time my friends and parents spent previewing and commenting on drafts of every illustration. Their opinons and advice helped me gauge how well I am able to convey the messages, moods, fodder for thought, etc. that inspired me to make the artistic choices that I did.
