As someone who is one-quarter Japanese, bathing holds significant importance in my consciousness and upbringing. Soaking in the bathtub never fails to connect me with the little girl within and the traditional Japanese house we lived in while growing up in Taiwan. To further explore the subtext of the blending of time and space, I include two paintings of women in kimonos grooming themselves in the show. They are inspired by Japanese woodblock prints, particularly the "One Hundred Beautiful Women at Famous Places of Edo" series
