This video work and Processing of Affection both portray my responses to my Vietnamese heritage’s expectations and beliefs via a semi-fictional character named Thuy. The marriage between Thuy and the cultural impositions does not continue with a polite dialogue but is interrupted by a progression into Thuy’s cruel and disruptive actions. This video piece is expanded into an interactive video installation and concept-based drawing performance/installation.
