Community Murals

Hands Together, We Soar Mural

The mural, Hands Together, We Soar, was painted at the Deaf Asian Street Festival in New York City, hosted by Metropolitan Asian Deaf Association (MADA) in 2025. We invited the community to contribute their ideas, cultural elements, and skills. The festival empowered the diverse deaf community, enabling them to create connections, build bridges, and foster a spirit of unity. The dragon with hands as fins and the characters displaying the signs of “Asian” and “Deaf” are a message to convey the importance and value of sign language. The mural is a meaningful way to honor the Asian Deaf community, celebrate and advocate for diverse languages and cultures, and communicate that we belong here.

It is on display at Kendall Demonstration Elementary School in Washington, DC.

Diversity Mural at the New York School for the Deaf

I was an artist-in-residence at the New York School for the Deaf (as known as Fanwood), collaborating with the certified art teacher and deaf students to paint a mural that showcases the diversity of Fanwood students and staff.
