*online now* is a self portrait series focusing on the relationship between technology and performativity, our ‘internet persona’ and our ‘authentic’ self; in this series I examine the way I interact with the camera lens as it intersects with my identity as a queer nonbinary Chinese-American person, and the way that others’ perception of myself affects my perception of myself. It explores the relationship between my body and my self as seen through a racialized, fetishized lens.
