BEYOND WHITENESS: ASIAN BEAUTY IN A GLOBALIZED WORLD VIDEO ESSAY
2020
Occidental College Media Arts & Culture Critical Media Thesis
Video Editing, Motion Graphics, Producing
For my senior thesis, a year-long project, I conducted rigorous research to produce a narrated video essay. It is a highly personal project, where I grapple with my own internalized beauty standards by applying a theoretical media framework. My work argues that with the continued development of Eastern and Western cultures clashing after European colonialism, inner-ethnic racism among Asian groups is also driving the rise of racial ideologies in contemporary Asian beauty standards.

A print poster composition reimagining the course description for ArtCenter at Night's Essential Typography course. I chose "expressive potential" from the description as the focal point and the reason behind why I decided to take the course. My goal was to evoke a feeling of direction and movement from the composition, which suits the connotation of excitement from "expressive potential."
