" 'Resilience' Asian Floral Print! My mom grows 10 buckets of globe amaranthus flowers in front of her restaurant to relieve her health problems. I wanted to depict how Asian Americans reuse objects to survive in America and heal themselves. This print represents the Fairmont, Minnesota era of my life. This is #1 in my collection, "Soy Sauce Genesis," where I paint flowers from unique places in my life in soy sauce containers. "
Menmin Made was created by Paulina Hoong to bring forward expressive watercolor plants + florals + food + AAPI-inspired art into this world. I’m a queer, second-gen Chinese-American artist based in the San Francisco Bay Area.
