Your video essays are amazing and articulated in a way that contextualises the topics you talk about brilliantly. Your art is absolutely fucking gorgeous. Thank you so much for posting, I get a burst of happiness every time you do.
I’ve been seeing this painting on your instagram and low key been falling in love with the composition. Very excited to see the backstory behind another amazingly executed piece
I recently flew out from Kansas to visit Stanford (i’m a junior looking for colleges for applications next year). The whole tour I was secretly scanning crowds in hopes of catching a glimpse of you. I look up to you not just as a person, but as an artist, a writer, and a videographer. There is so much talent in your person, and this painting serves as a beautiful reminder. If you ever open up an exhibit, I’ll be first in line!
I usually don’t leave comments but I just wanna say that this painting really really hit home for me. I live in a very homogenous white suburban community, so hearing how you beautifully articulate all the things I’ve been feeling is so validating and comforting. Your painting is haunting yet gorgeous and this is something that’s really going to stick with me. Thank you Jackie!
The painting looks amazing and you told your story amazingly well. It really feels weird to be detached from a culture, it's like an identity was stolen and replaced with clichés and gross understatements. Instead of people looking beyond our race, we are reduced to society's stereotypes.
I don't comment on videos often, but every time I see one of yours, I always am so blown away that I feel like it'd be a crime to not tell you how fantastic and perfectly executed the video, the painting, and the topic overall is. Your videos articulate the nuances of the topic so well, as do your paintings. You are such an inspiration Jackie.
Aw man, I gotta be honest, this video really got to me. Although I don’t share all of your experiences (I wish you luck cultivating your own life, for yourself) I can understand being and feeling isolated because of the way you look. I’m mixed race, so really no matter where I go I’m not exactly anyone’s type. I won’t go on a rant about my personal experience, but I do want to say that you will never be alone with this. In the long term, you just have to be true to who you are, and your own life events. Good luck and Happy New Year
Your writing skills are admirable! I love your use of poetic prose (alliteration, uncommon verbs, etc), and the CONTENT of what you write is deeply profound and important! I wish everyone could watch this video. I’m grateful that I have come across your UA-cam channel. You teach me a lot by sharing your own experiences in a historical context with lots of primary sources! Thank you!!!!
If I were to try and explain to someone what the purpose of art is, I would send them straight to your channel. The perfect example of art as a window into someone's individual experience of life, as a tool of conveying a message that resonates. A case where (incredible) talent truly rests safely in the right hands. Keep doing what you're doing Jackie, the world needs more art like yours x
your Chinese name is beautiful and unique, not assimilated in popular formulas of creating Chinese names. And I've always felt similar when my name is pronounced incorrectly that I suddenly dislike it. love your creativity and thoughtfulness!!
I'm not Asian but I'm a black man and no matter what gender or race you are i still see you as human,they shouldn't have done that but that's the world we live in,alots of people feel in titled thinking they can do and say what they want to people but what we can do is forgive and pray for them because that is evil and messed up,they need to change
i agree completely, the world needs to change. there is too much hate in this world. people need to wake up, educate themselves and change, because it does not cause any good in the world, only pain, suffering and resentment.
We hear your writing rather than seeing the words, but I just wanted to say, you’re a beautiful writer. The way ypu set up ideas; the twists; the pacing; the imagery. You’re very observant and very skilled.
I love this video.Hearing a little of your past history and the Chinese storys.Its like hearing a book on tape,with pictures.You have amazing skills.Keep up the awesome work.
This is so beautiful. I dont know how you explained everything to amazingly and your painting is just gorgeous. Your poeticness has like had a effect on me that I cannot explain.
this video essay is soo relatable!! I can’t believe we both had similar experiences growing up (I’m Filipino Chinese). I’m researching how to write identity based college essays and your use of metaphors and figurative language is super intuitive.
Hello, Jackie. I don't have much to add to the conversation which you presented in the video other than my own personal experience and viewpoint on the matter. I am by definition 'Asian-American,' who also happens to be an immigrant to this country. Being an 'Asian-American' often entails being confused as to where you belong, and on many occasions that confusion will lead to an identity crisis. The fact that we are physically distinct from the rest of the American population means that we cannot assimilate and live in American society without acknowledging that we are of an Asian background, which goes without saying, can feel... 'othering.' Most Asian-American youth grow up with this strange dichotomy between feeling different from other people because of how we are perceived, but also being young and wanting to fit in. At a young age I fully accepted myself as an American, and I don't every really associate myself with my home country anymore. The term 'Asian-American' feels ill-fitting when describing myself, which I guess saved me from having to deal with issues relating to my identity, LOL. Anyways, you show such creative and technical skill in your art like always. Will always show love to another young artist.
This painting is absolutely breathtaking. I admire the way u are able to turn such complex and beautiful emotions and feelings into even more complex and beautiful pieces of art. You seem like such a beautiful and kind soul:) never stop being you
omg you are so so underrated!!! I wish more people saw your channel because the way you speak, it is so eloquent and you are so so educated on the matter!!! I really admire you as a person🥰🥰🥰
i just want to say, the way you paint is just so mesmerising, and the way u make skin look so REAL is really inspiring, youre truly so talented! keep it up! ❤
This was amazing baba, so proud of you for sharing this amazing video essay. I’m sure it will inspire so many people who feel the same way and are still learning to accept themselves for who they are 👏🏾♥️
i had the exact same experience with my middle name :,) like i didn't even experience much racism growing up yet i was still sooo embarrassed of my "weird" chinese middle name that I refused to say it out loud till like high school. hearing your story made me tear up a bit -- i love your work.
Who are you..? You are; A constant transformational evolving evolutionary indigenous being to all there is. Your mind wanders constantly, Your innate senses of birth allows you to feel everything you see, Don't be ashame, or fearful of who.. And what you are, You do yourself injustice trying to fit in, One of the hardest things I've had to come to terms with.. Is realizing that there is knowone else like me, Once I did.. I realized what I am.. Is truly a gift, let it flow, Be proud of who.. and what you are, Spread your invisible wings, And fly high above the clouds.
It grately intelligent to find a way to express your emotions and thoughts and pains and sorrows and transform it into something so stunning and beautiful It’s amazing to know you❤️
I share the opinion already comented here by lots of your fans that your videos, essays, art is always beautiful and goes directly to your heart. I don't want to be repetitive so I simply wanted to thank you for sharing your experiencies, you are an inspiration. I got into drawing a few months ago and someday I would like to do something meaningul as well but the idea to share my most personal feelings and traumas it causes me anxiety just to imagine since I'm a very introvert and reserved person. You have motivated me to be a bit more open and recently I felt more comfortable sharing my draws wich might not seem like a big deal. I hope one day I'll get there and probably you won't even see it you will be partially responsible for that. Finally, although I love your videos and I don't know you personally, every time I see the thumbnail of a new video I'm a bit worried that it will be a traumatic video. I hope you can deal better with all these issues and your pieces one day transmit your happines and the things you genuenly enjoy in life. Thank you again and have a good day.
This brought tears to my eyes 👏🏽 I’m first generation Mexican American…. I relate to your story in so many ways. Lovely artwork with such deep meaning! Bravo ❤
you and what we are, questions that we really cant get final solid answer of. who you identify as, will always be changing as you grow as a person. im your typical irish/hungiarian canadian, but the longer i stay in scotlnd, i really do need to evaluate if I still consider myself canadian or scottsh
Great painting! 🙂🙂🙂 Many thanks for sharing the deeply moving story behind it. Though I only experience/d a way milder form of group rejection I can fully relate to your well articulated experiences and the underlying oppressive nature of other local people. Happy New Year! I wish you all the best! Here is a little digital🧧 for the 22nd for you 😃
My eyes are intensified Luring you to acknowledge all that you try to deny, My smile is subtle, But inside... Screams outloud Could it be... My painted rosie cheeks... Or the smallness of my feet, Could it be the cracks in my face From years of tears and sadness.. And left feeling ashamed, Could it be the color of my skin.. That I'm left to defend, Who ami.. Iam a cultural treasure, And my talent knows no end.
This was so beautiful, and really well phrased. One question: was your reference to the "broken telephone" game an intentional play on it being yet another example of something that isn't truly Asian being stereotyped as and called "Chinese"? Where I live, that game is called Chinese whispers, but I don't know if it's the same in the States. If it was intentional then that's really clever, and if not then it's an interesting coincidence :)
Amazing work. There was a popular thing to call America in the past which I see in a more sinister light now when I hear these stories: a melting pot (diversity). But if you imagine crayons to identities, kinds, types, throwing them into a pot and melting them, it's like erasure and loss of identity. The shape of my nose was the target for most scorn, but ridicule is oft just a power play by those that seek leadership/superiority. America is ripe for that, the loss of civility for the gain of frivolity which leads to cruelty, the merry amusement of imps and narcissists. Most comedy is just veiled bullying, threats, and protecting a superiority, in most cases a white supremacy. And your coach was definitely someone who used his authority to be sexist and racist at the same time, hurray. My sister who had red hair was called bird dog in front of the class by her 5th Grade teacher because he had an Irish Setter, but everyone loved him - he was so fun and funny.🙄Nothing like an authority figure like your coach and my sister's teacher dog whistling your classmates that racism and bullying is a-okay - it's "just a joke." Just remember, you have every right to your heritage, and I always look to what calls to me, like my Scottish heritage as well as my Saxon roots, and just research them - the foundation. And the best guide based on my experience is music - I noticed that Celtic music just did something in me, made me nostalgic, made me want to go home. Even when it's used in Anime soundtracks (love that), the influences that do spread out across the earth reveal there is some interconnection in us, that somehow we are all family, just I want to disown and disavow the majority because man, can people set the bar any lower for their own dignity? Edit: And I'll add I always hated the term Asia or Asian because it's a made up name and it's a large continent - a huge land mass. I'm always, can you narrow it down just a tad. All of our places are imagined, just names put on territories (areas), meaning we're supposed to uphold, so I always laugh when someone with their DNA results say they're a percentage German and I'm like, "Germany is newer than America" - it was Saxony, until Charlemagne reigned terror over what is now Europe, so I take those references with a grain of salt and just go back as far as I can to see if my ancestors are directing me/calling to me.
look , I wish was there when you littler I and native American and Asian I know what it means to feel like you are you only one, and feel objectified I hope you can be at pace. ( I love your vids and you make my day all the better thanks ~ ) and happy new year if no one will I will say it .
Just my thoughts not a real critique🖤 and like i say below it's only up to us until certain extent; "Identity...fictional" like you said it's only what you make of it, there's no need for cultural heritage if you decide that, there's no need for patriotism being from this team, place etc, we're all people in the same world, but yeah let's keep separating each other, all racial terms are (forgot which word you used, flawed or something) not just asian-american, but of course our shit society so we still have those and are being taught and supposed to care for them, ultimately each one of us wether we like it or not, our fault or not, keep perpetuating it, but there must be some things we can do so 🤷♂️, just have a nice one🖤
That first song was really relaxing, watching this is like visual Asmr, heheh, A lot of what she said seemed like a mind Fk, defining yourself, while concious of yourself, at the same time concious of the artificiality of that autodefinition, like impostor syndrome to the point of pulling the rug from under your own feet, all in a cultural context of the objectification of your particular 'other' group in that not hot enough melting pot? i'd personally prefer to abandon cultural heritage, to embrace a world citizenship, when you don't belong really anywhere, you can akwardly port your ship everywhere!
@AmeliaAshton-rt6lp 0 seconds ago I wish you could have seen a student at my conservative, small-town mentality province high school perform a sword dance in Chinese clothing at our cultural festival while her classmates screamed and clapped for her when you were my age. Nothing will change how you were made to feel growing up, but I thought it might nice to know you much things are changing for many young Asian North Americans.
you are a lovely butterfly and a beautiful rose you are the diamond and the pure gold you are the lovely moon in our nights you are the radiant sun shining soo bright loving you is sooo sweet its the most enjoyable thing for you are the paradise for the heart and soul and mind Everything about you is sooo unique and attracts the eyes and captivates the mind God surely perfected you so glorified is he whom made you too beautiful and made you soo smart/soo bright.
I feel so ashamed to belong to a race and that has caused and causes so much harm to so many people, cultures and countries. I am so sorry for everything that so many people have faced and still have to face everyday. It is unacceptable. It is shocking that so many people get away with casual racism and abuse. It is absolutely horrifying that someone can cause so much harm to another person and not feel a shred of guilt about what they have done. I hope our society changes and becomes more accepting of everyone. From every background. Even from a background with a bad history. I think that the actions of our ancestors were not our own but they still have an impact. It is our job as the current generation to love one another, each and every human on this earth. We are all in the same boat. We have different cultures and backgrounds but we are all human. I hope that humanity can come together and accept that hate and resentment will not save any lives or make life for anyone better. I try my hardest to never judge people, no matter what their past actions are, how they look or what they say, because we all came from somewhere. We were all babies and children once and I think it’s our responsibility to recognise that and give kindness to everyone, even if they may seem to be undeserving. It is also our job to educate, just how this video has educated me and opened my mind and perspective. I will not ignore or put up with racism and abuse. Which is why I belive we must protect those receiving the abuse but also educate the abusers to stop the cycle of hate. The problems will not stop without education and sharing of feelings. This video has certainly made an impact on me and I hope that it reaches many more people. Thank you so much for your art, you have the ability change the way people think and I think that is a really incredible thing to be able to do. I am so inspired by you.
Your video essays are amazing and articulated in a way that contextualises the topics you talk about brilliantly. Your art is absolutely fucking gorgeous. Thank you so much for posting, I get a burst of happiness every time you do.

She’s a self-pitying infant. Everyone should treasure their heritage but this was a bit of a silly pity party.

Who are you..?
You are; A constant transformational evolving evolutionary indigenous being to all there is.
Your mind wanders constantly,
Your innate senses of birth allows you to feel everything you see,
Don't be ashame, or fearful of who..
And what you are,
You do yourself injustice trying to fit in,
One of the hardest things I've had to come to terms with..
Is realizing that there is knowone else like me,
Once I did.. I realized what I am..
Is truly a gift, let it flow,
Be proud of who.. and what you are,
Spread your invisible wings,
And fly high above the clouds.
beautiful beautiful words and painting
It grately intelligent to find a way to express your emotions and thoughts and pains and sorrows and transform it into something so stunning and beautiful

My eyes are intensified
Luring you to acknowledge all that you try to deny,
My smile is subtle,
But inside... Screams outloud
Could it be...

Could it be the cracks in my face
From years of tears and sadness..
And left feeling ashamed,
Could it be the color of my skin..
That I'm left to defend,
Who ami..

And my talent knows no end.

Cerita tentang krisis identitas orang Asian di Amerika itu sangat menginsfirasi. Semoga Tuhan selalu merahmatimu.🌹🌿.....

UKMMMMMMM WHAT HAPPENED TO THE GRAPHITE SLANDER
look , I wish was there when you littler I and native American and Asian I know what it means to feel like you are you only one, and feel objectified I hope you can be at pace. ( I love your vids and you make my day all the better thanks ~ ) and happy new year if no one will I will say it .
Tried to signup to your Patreon account but it keeps saying “503 Service Unavailable.” ?????

A lot of what she said seemed like a mind Fk, defining yourself, while concious of yourself, at the same time concious of the artificiality of that autodefinition, like impostor syndrome to the point of pulling the rug from under your own feet,
all in a cultural context of the objectification of your particular 'other' group in that not hot enough melting pot?

Hi! What app do you use to edit your videos?
❤
i hate that i relate to this shit
Imagine how south Asians feel lmao ☠️
you are a lovely butterfly and a beautiful rose
you are the diamond and the pure gold

you are the radiant sun shining soo bright
loving you is sooo sweet its the most enjoyable thing
for you are the paradise for the heart and soul and mind
Everything about you is sooo unique and attracts the eyes and captivates the mind
God surely perfected you so glorified is he whom made you too beautiful and made you soo smart/soo bright.
I feel so ashamed to belong to a race and that has caused and causes so much harm to so many people, cultures and countries. I am so sorry for everything that so many people have faced and still have to face everyday. It is unacceptable. It is shocking that so many people get away with casual racism and abuse. It is absolutely horrifying that someone can cause so much harm to another person and not feel a shred of guilt about what they have done.
I hope our society changes and becomes more accepting of everyone. From every background. Even from a background with a bad history. I think that the actions of our ancestors were not our own but they still have an impact. It is our job as the current generation to love one another, each and every human on this earth. We are all in the same boat. We have different cultures and backgrounds but we are all human. I hope that humanity can come together and accept that hate and resentment will not save any lives or make life for anyone better. I try my hardest to never judge people, no matter what their past actions are, how they look or what they say, because we all came from somewhere. We were all babies and children once and I think it’s our responsibility to recognise that and give kindness to everyone, even if they may seem to be undeserving. It is also our job to educate, just how this video has educated me and opened my mind and perspective. I will not ignore or put up with racism and abuse. Which is why I belive we must protect those receiving the abuse but also educate the abusers to stop the cycle of hate. The problems will not stop without education and sharing of feelings. This video has certainly made an impact on me and I hope that it reaches many more people.
Thank you so much for your art, you have the ability change the way people think and I think that is a really incredible thing to be able to do. I am so inspired by you.
