thesis abstract
We live internally and we live externally. We have experiences thatare visible to others and experiences that are invisible, concealed.

To live here means to live between Eastern and Western cultures, between being an artist and a designer, or between being a student and a teacher. As I move through life and interact with the threshold, I discover that it can be beautiful. Or, at times it can be awkward. Certainly, it is challenging, and on occasion, it is everything at once. Growing between two cultures, two spaces, from an early age, fostered in me a fascination with the in-between, the liminal space, the threshold. It also fostered in me a desire to nourish growth.
