you could destroy me but i’ll still be here

documents acts of 

destruction

self-preservation

and resistance.

In an attempt to destroy a fuji instax mini self-portrait, I work through what I’ve been grappling with over these past two years: my relationships to the camera, to my communities, and to myself during these *unprecedented times.* 

How do you move forward while carrying the fear and pain of your communities as Anti-Asian violence becomes increasingly hypervisible? How do you reclaim your sense of self in a world that takes and demands of you to be “good,” docile, and passive while trying to actively destroy you?

I’ve lost a part of myself through this and I am hopeful that despite it all, 

I’ll still be here.
