Don't Look At Me, Look At Me

"Don't Look at Me, Look at Me" is a single-channel projection combining live-action and rotoscoped 2D animation, performed by the artist herself. The film explores the objectifying gaze on Asian women in Western media. As the character tries on stereotypical outfits, cheongsam, kimono, and school uniform, she grows increasingly frustrated, eventually tearing off the clothing and even her skin. Blinking effects highlight the viewer's gaze, while voiceovers describing Asian women as exotic objects underscore the fetishization. The looped format invites reflection on identity, power, and visibility.
