Photographer Andrew Kung and stylist Kathleen Namgung open up about their new project
, which highlights Asian Americans as the ideal portrait of American Life. “We were reflecting about this project for a long time, even before the hate crimes and the shooting were given national attention,” says Namgung. “It’s unfortunate that with everything happening, these portraits have become timelier, but it’s only confirmation of our invisibility. It shouldn’t take violence and pain to create relevance for a vulnerable community.
A portrait of Namgung is also in the photo series. In it, the American flag lends itself as the backdrop, and she looks straight at the camera as she’s reclining with a butterfly, gently resting on her hand. It’s as if she’s looking toward us, pondering a question; the same question that Asian Americans wonder about all time.
