Cautious Community was created to address the current pandemic and the discrimination Asian communities are facing. I grew up near East Chinatown, my family and I have many connections to the area, and we have relationships with the people there and their businesses. I worry about the mistreatment towards them, and how they are being affected by the virus. This work intends to uplift and secure the community. It also poses as a response to the statements made by Trump about COVID; who has made many false and reckless accusations about Chinese people and the virus. I shot these images of businesses in my neighbourhood before the quarantine. I changed the signs of storefronts into signs of resilience, and the text reads as the voice of the community.
