Boats Under the Brooklyn Bridge

These bright, colorful, and beautifully decorated dragon boats are commonly found in Chinese parks. The heads of the three boats are replaced with me and my siblings’ Chinese zodiac animal signs. I was born in the year of the rabbit, my sister was born in the year of the monkey, and my brother was born in the year of the dragon. I placed these three boats in front of the iconic Brooklyn bridge to show how although we were all primarily raised in New York, we will always look like we don’t belong in our predominantly white community.
