A multi-screen video installation of self-inflicted body performances that challenge the Filipin@/Filipin@-American post-colonial idolism of "whiteness" and Western ideals, and the pressures to assimilate to said "whiteness" that exist within Filipin@ society.
The performances are prompted by the artist's personal experiences and observations of her own Filipina-American identity. Her body is exposed, compartmentalized, and self-inflicted to take back control of the body from colonial influences, while at the same time confronting the Filipin@ colonial mentality.
