One of Gavino’s works shows the history of Cambodian donut shops in America. By hanging various cards showing famous Asian-Americans, Gavino hopes to raise the voice of Asian-Americans and change societal perceptions of the population. Gavino included pertinent moments in Asian-American history as well as a detailed background of the origins of Asian-American groups in society. Cora Kim is a MFA graphic design major who centered her exhibit, “Empathetic” on respect for animals and disdain for animal cruelty. Kim’s hand-drawn panels show the reality behind testing cosmetic products on animals as well as a human building a connection with an animal. Including both visual and audio messages, Kim’s exhibit sought to display the reality of human choices and their impact on the animal population. The exhibit “Slanted Perspective” is MFA Graphic Design major David Toyoshima’s representation of his experience as a Japanese-American. Toyoshima decorated his gallery with an assortment of nostalgically cliche pieces that were intended to embody the American perspective of Japanese culture. Cartoon panels covered the walls of Toyoshima’s exhibit, showing questions he is frequently asked and assumptions that are typically made about Japanese culture. MFA Graphic Design major Vi Pham took the opportunity to relay her struggles with gendered identities in her exhibit, titled “Who you? Who me?.” Pham not only provided her audience with visual stimuli, but also used her work to educate and inform those who wandered into the gallery. Pham’s work details the discrepancies she feels towards society’s tendency to label and gender individuals without every giving them a say in the decision. Perhaps one of the most intriguing pieces featured at Pham’s exhibition was a large, colorfully decorated wheel depicting various classifications of gender. Many of Stiller’s pieces are intended to push preconceptions of human desire to divide and categorize their surroundings. In her artists statement, Stiller tells her audience about her fixation with clay and its fragility. For Stiller, the pieces featured in “Glazed and Confused” are meant to mimic a work that is continuously in progress. Using a theme of tea pots and tea ware, each of Stiller’s pieces ranged in artistic expression.
