WE NEED TO STOP PLAYING POLITICS AND THAT'S WHAT THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION IS DONE.

>> IF YOU GO BACK TO THE TIME OF THE MINNEAPOLIS BRIDGE COLLAPSE, CONGRESS WITHIN A VERY SHORT PERIOD OF TIME OVERWHELMINGLY SAID THAT THE BETTER GOVERNMENT SHOULD HELP AND SO, WE BELIEVE WE SHOULD COME TOGETHER AGAIN AS AMERICANS AND PUT ASIDE PARTY LABELS, AND GET IT DONE.

>> WE HAVE THE UC SAN DIEGO BLUE LINE CONNECTING IN UNIVERSITY CITY WHICH IS A GREAT INVESTMENT.

I THINK THIS PLAN CAPITALIZES BY HAVING DEVELOPMENT ORIENTED NEAR THOSE OPTIONS.

>> THE DRIVE ZONING PLAN STILL RESTRICTS MOST OF THE SELF NEIGHBORHOOD TO SINGLE-FAMILY HOMES, THAT WAS A CONCESSION TO HOMEOWNERS WHO FIERCELY OPPOSED THE PROPOSAL TO ALLOW TOWNHOMES IN THE AREA.

WE ARE HAVING A HUGE IMPACT ON THE ABILITY TO GET CLEAN ENERGY .

>> THE SWITCH AS PART OF LONGER- TERM PLANS, ONE HAS TO DO WITH CLIMATE ACTION GOALS AND FUTURE FUNDING.

>> BY HAVING CLEAN ENERGY, WE ARE GIVING ALL THE MEMBERS THE ABILITY TO MEET CLIMATE ACTION GOALS.

THAT BECOMES IMPORTANT BECAUSE EVENTUALLY, FUNDING IS -- FROM THE STATE AND FEDERAL GOVERNMENT, AND COUNTY WILL BE BASED UPON MEETING YOUR CLIMATE ACTION GOALS.

>> THE OTHER HAS TO DO WITH PROFITS COMING BACK INTO THE COMMUNITY.

>> THE DIFFERENCE WITH CEA INSTEAD OF REVENUES GOING BACK INTO AN INVESTOR OWNED UTILITY, THOSE REVENUES ARE PART OF A PUBLIC BUDGET THAT THE COMMUNITY GETS TO DECIDE HOW THEY ARE INVESTED IN THE FUTURE .

FROM AFAR, IT LOOKS ETHEREAL AND DELICATE.

>> I WANT TO BUILD AN ATTRACTIVE MAZE, SOMETHING I'VE LEARNED SINCE HIGH SCHOOL.

GIVEN A CANVAS OR ANY SPACE, TAKE AS MUCH OF IT AS POSSIBLE AND CREATE AS MUCH OF IT AS POSSIBLE.

>> THE MAZE TAKES UP MANY SPACE IN LOGAN HEIGHTS AND THAT CRISP, DELICATE WHITE MATERIAL IS MOSTLY TOILET SEAT COVERS IN TISSUE.

THE OBJECTS WOVEN INTO AND STUCK INTO THE MAZE REPRESENT ASSIMILATION FOR ASIAN IMMIGRANTS AND THEIR FAMILIES.

THE BALANCE THEY HAVE TO STRIKE BETWEEN PURSUING A FRAGILE, MISLEADING AMERICAN DREAM AND HANGING ONTO PIECES OF HOME.

THEY WANT VISITORS TO EXPERIENCE THE UNSETTLING CONFLICT, AND DISORIENTATION WITHIN THE MAZE.

FOOD IS AN UNDER LIABLE PART -- UNDENIABLE PART OF THE IMMIGRANT EXPERIENCES, FOOD ALSO SERVES TO BRING THE ART TO THE LEVEL THAT'S EASIER TO UNDERSTAND.

>> I THINK THAT FOOD IS SOMETHING EVERYONE CAN RELATE TO.

>> IT IS ALL OVER THE MAZE.

>> THERE IS SOME LAYS CHIPS.

IT'S THINGS THAT WE CAN IDENTIFY WITH BUT THERE IS A LOT OF INFLUENCE OF EVERY CULTURE IN EVERY CULTURE I THINK, NOTHING COMES FROM NOWHERE.

>> SHE WANTED TO SPEAK TO HOW SUSCEPTIBLE AMERICAN SOCIETY IS TO RACISM AS A FIRST-GENERATION THAI LAO AMERICAN.

>> IT'S ABOUT STRUCTURE WILL -- RACISM, AND THE ASSIMILATION OF ASIAN CULTURE INTO WHITE AMERICAN SOCIETY.

>> IS VISITORS MAKE THEIR WAY TO THE MAZE, THEY SEE MORE PROMINENT TUX OF HAIR AND PLASTIC COCKROACHES, SHE WANTED TO EXPLORE HOW IT A BLACKNESS HAS A THRIVE IN ASIAN-AMERICAN COMMUNITIES, SHE KNEW THIS COULD MEAN A RAMPED UP SENSE OF DISCOMFORT.

>> THE HAIR YOU SEE HERE IS SORT OF I THINK IT REPRESENTS A LOT OF DIFFERENT THINGS AND CULTURES, I DEFINITELY THINK THAT HAIR IS SOMETHING WE ALL TRY TO MAINTAIN SOME CERTAIN WAYS, THAT KIND OF REPRESENTS AN ANTI-BLACKNESS, SOMETHING WE HAVE TO CHECK OURSELVES ON.

>> SOME ALTERED LIKE GROUPINGS, LOOSE WHITE RICE WITH SUSPENDED SCULPTURE HANGING ABOVE THEM.

THESE GROUPINGS WERE INSPIRED BY THE FORMATION OF ROCK IN CAVES AND THE WAY THE MINERALS ARE REDEPOSITED AND THEY INTERRUPT FLOW THE MAZE.

>> STRUCTURAL RACISM GOES UNSEEN , UNLESS YOU ARE CONFRONTED WITH IT DIRECTLY OR ARE AFFECTED BY IT.

>> SHE SHARES A NORTH PARK STUDIO SPACE WITH A HANDFUL OF ARTISTS, WORKS IN PROGRESS HANG ALONGSIDE PREVIOUS SCULPTURES LIKE A LIFE-SIZE PIG CARCASS CONSTRUCTED FROM PAPER, HER STUDIO IS TIDY BUT BURSTING WITH CREATIVITY IN COLOR, WHEN SHE KNOWS HER WORKS IS COMPLETE, SHE REFLECTS ON THE PROCESS MAKING THE MAZE PANEL BY PANEL, 48 IN TOTAL.

IF I KEEP ON WORKING THE WHOLE TIME, I WILL NEVER BE DONE WITH IT.

>> CHRISTOPHER PADILLA MANAGES THE GALLERIA CURATED THE EXHIBITION, HE SAID HER ART IS BOTH ALLURING AND IN-YOUR-FACE.
