I AM ENOUGH is a golden yellow scarf slowly and carefully crocheted over the course of a 3-4 year period. With each and every stitch, I meditated on the affirmation to cope from the pressure of “producing” art post-grad school and “contributing” to my family as a daughter of immigrants. When I wear the scarf out at community events, I invite others to put it around their neck for a moment, especially if anyone feels like they need it.
