the fears, of letting my close ones down, the disappointment, scared i might disappoint them, the anxiety, of not being the person everyone thought i was. this artwork shows my personal identity flags wanting to come out and show everyone who i am, but those fears, risk of disappointing others, and my anxiety, are all pulling it back in, keeping it from escaping, keeping it inside. lgbtq+ has gotten so much more support than back in the days, but it isnt perfect. same with the asian ethnicity, people automatically assume all asians are chinese, but we’re not. anyway, moral of the story, this piece is showing my identity hiding itself from the society.
