Upon arrival to the United States after being raised in Taipei, Taiwan, until the age of 13, Jin-Ya Huang was inspired to remember her childhood and relate it to her new life. As she struggled with her East-West identity, dealing with issues of being an Asian woman in America, Huang realized this was a subject she wanted to address in her work. She found her translation through abstract photography, by which she is able to convey her history with meaning, hold on to the present, and project the future.
