Artist, American, born Vietnam, 1977

The image depicts an upper part of a person's body superimposed onto a large yellow leaf with a black background. The person is centrally positioned on the leaf, facing forward. The facial features are sharp with a slightly wide forehead and defined cheekbones. The person's hair is closely cropped or shaved, and they are wearing a collared shirt. There are no visible jewelry or objects held by the person due to the constraints of the superimposition.
