I’ve been doing research on the treatment of Asian American immigrants in Nevada. Often, their bodies are buried in unmarked graves and the land used for commercial purposes. The most egregious example would be the 10-15 Chinese American immigrants buried under mining waste in Tonopah, Nevada. There is universality in every specificity. What happened is Tonopah is representative of many in our country, buried in unmarked graves, discarded once our utilitarian value has ceased. This is one mixed media work as part of a series as a response to the continuing mistreatment of Asian Americans and the accompanying diaspora that follows.
