Becoming 人 attempts to explore what it means to enter a community and make sense of our identities within. It journeys down New York City Chinatown’s infamous Doyers Street and cycles through the nuisances of movement agency and Chinese American identity. By questioning what it means to enter spaces of chaos and stillness through both history and presence, Becoming 人 offers a small insight into the raw and unfiltered experiences of the Chinese American creative.
