This website was influenced and truly inspired by the disconnect and disparity of learning about Asian history.
As an Asian American, I found it difficult wanting to ever learn more about Asian history without it being watered down, censored with the intentions of keeping relations with the countries I’m trying to research or to understand more. There was a major push to learn more about these women on how relevant this topic at this moment in the social-political climate surrounding the Pacific.
I want to educate the younger generation, and the world to go learn more about the world. Research the questions that you’re ever so curious about, because maybe it’ll open something interesting. A lot of the information sometimes gets watered down for you to understand it easier, but it might not be enough for you to fully understand what had happened in the past. If you found something frustrating, go on and investigate it.
More information about “Comfort Women”:
A Japanese Website where they would want to resolve the issue around "Comfort Women."
A San Fransisco Coalition to educate students about "Comfort Women" and ensure that this information is in the curriculum.
This project was produced as partial fulfillment of the requirements of DESN 402, Senior Studio II, in the Graphic Design Program at The University of the Arts, Spring 2019.

Ye Lim Lee, without you I would never have the confidence to do this topic. You’ve also helped me research and translate information, as well as gave me insight on how it feel to be a South Korean with this knowledge. Thank you for sharing your culture, but also helping me be more interested in a historical yet very controversial topic still within the Asian community.
Jonathan White, you’re such supportive egg, you also have helped me build confidence in this topic, but also go through this entire project with heartache for the topic, but with history in general. Without you I would have never developed the core emotions for this project.
Gregg Robinson, the moral support through the toughest times.
Mom and Dad, thank you for believing in me, even when I stubbornly decided to go into this career path.
The Graphic Design class of 2019, without these wonderful people being such an inspiration and helped me push through it all, I have learned so much from every single one of you.
