Asian Americans are often indirect communicators and topics like mental health are extremely difficult to discuss within our households. WhAAt’s on your mind? is a project that focuses on visualizing the mental health of Asian American college students through art. A survey was sent out collecting responses from 12 Asian American students from UMD. Each student was asked to describe one strong memory they have of a positive or negative experience with mental health. These responses were visualized using oil pastels and charcoal pencil. This project aims to bring understanding through visual art to a hidden and broken topic within the Asian American community.
