Vulnerability
Created on March 19, 2021.
A member of the Korean American Family Services Center holds a sign reading “Stop Asian Hate” during the Vigil for Victims of Asian Hate in Union Square in New York, N.Y. on March 19, 2021.
After the Atlanta spa shootings last March, the AAPI community was left shaken. We feared for our safety, and the rest of the country got a rare glimpse of our feelings of vulnerability. The soft light and shadows in this photo speak to this vulnerability to me, juxtaposed with the bright red colors used on the “Stop Asian Hate” poster.
