"Miss Vietnam" abstracts and analyzes mixed-race experience via symbols of Vietnamese femininity, yellow damask wallpaper (à la Charlotte Perkins Stetson's 1892 short story "The Yellow Wallpaper"), and mass-produced imported confections. The exhibition blends imagery of unnamed tropical jungles and Victorian interiors to create a disjointed memoryscape where a longing for cultural connection is endlessly sought but never reconciled.
