Asian- American Art



Flo Oy Wong’s art work is influenced by family, community, culture, and history.  She interviews people and also takes experiences from her own life to create these pieces.  In this art piece, Wong used a rice bag as her medium.  This represented a major part of Wong’s entire life.  She worked in a restaurant as a child, her family ate rice almost every night, and it was the only thing available to her family when her father was shot and recovering.  This art piece represents Wong’s life as a whole and how hardships were faced and overcome.
