PERFECT

“This piece encapsulates the pressures people, mainly parents and adult peers, place on young Asians to meet their high expectations, such as perfect scores on the SAT/ACT, high-reach

colleges, musical excellence, and difficult professions. To depict

this, I crafted the eye using a collage of SAT, ACT, and music

sheets and made it look like it was looking down on the figure. I

made it into the shape of an eye because the words surrounding

it are what “perfect” looks like to them.”
