This colorful portrait honors Young Kim, the first Korean-American Republican elected to the U.S. Congress. Created in 2022, it measures 13 x 9.5 inches. I made it from non-recyclable trash on a board.
 
The artwork is energetic, using layered materials like colorful packaging, labels, and fabric scraps. These pieces show Kim's bright smile, lively eyes, and unique hairstyle. The use of trash highlights an environmental message, turning discarded items into a tribute to hard work and representation in politics. The piece encourages viewers to consider identity, progress, and caring for the planet.
