The mural represents the pride of all deaf people of the Asian American and Pacific Islander communities. Its bright and bold colors symbolize the vibrancy of AAPI culture and incorporates symbols of Washington, DC, to represent the Deaf community's experience rooted in America's democratic values and the Deaf AAPI community's contributions to society. Originally from Beijing, China, Yiqiao Wang is a senior at Gallaudet University's The Science of Learning Center on Visual Language and Visual Learning. She takes a variety of approaches in exploring her illustrative visions, using both hand drawing and digital work.
