Joan in Osaka

2024

Watercolor

19.5 in x 15.5 in

I grew up in Japan feeling like both an insider and outsider. This piece asks what it means to carry identity in a space that won’t fully receive you. Like Joan in the streets of Osaka, I learned to wear emotional armor just to move through the world.

Launch speaks to the universal longing for takeoff—for freedom, future, and flight. It beautifully captures the instant before ambition becomes action, and in doing so, honors the power of imagination and youthful determination. The setting feels timeless, evoking freedom and possibility.

Inspired by the writings and reportage of Vandana Shiva, my painting interprets the duplicity and poison of corporate agriculture foisted on the world but especially in India. With seriousness behind a humorous mask, there are about a dozen visual clues for fun and exploration.
