Installations > Issei, Nisei, Sansei,...

Issei, Nisei, Sansei,… was an installation commissioned by the Washington Project for the Arts (WPA) in Washington, DC for their annual Options exhibition. It shows the immigration journey of three generations of a Japanese American family. Viewers walk over a glass covered path and through three successive doorways representing a traditional Japanese house, a wartime Incarceration camp barracks, and an aluminum-sided American home. The interior space is composed of several sculptures alluding to the artist's experiences as a Japanese American.
