She is also interested in investigating how ancestral traditions can inform her diasporic futurisms and how she can adapt ancient mythologies for contemporary storytelling.

Career

Zétéo
In 2017, MissTANGQ and Jyun Jyun(Louis Chinn) collaborated to created a stop motion animation that was made out of mixed collage, watercolor, found objects, natural plants, and sculptures to tell the story of a nubby rock creature that embarks on a journey; cartwheeling through a mystical painted world hinting at Far East aesthetics. Their idea was inspired by the Greek mythology of soul reunions from Plato's symposium.
