Mystery Character

-
Two huge dimples bulge at the corners of his enormous mouth.  His thin black eyebrows are often hidden by his large eyelids.  A rusty blue sailor hat sits on top of his head, contrasting his bright blue eyes which twinkle with trust and optimism.  He wiggles his spaghetti-like arms in a dance move that amuses his audience.  Many do not mind that he reeks of grease and salt because he constantly whistles upbeat and catchy tunes.  Though his squeaky, nasally voice offers a silly and childish persona, he is rather well-dressed.  He sports a white collared shirt, brown pants, and black oxfords which complement his belt.  Even with an abnormally long nose and three eyelashes, he is able to befriend a variety of individuals in his community.

Japanese Internment

In rusty bronze, a long, rectangular sculpture with small, etched vinaigrettes of Japanese internment camps catches a glimpse of autumn’s afternoon light in Downtown San Jose. The sculpture was designed by Ruth Asawa, a female artist who witnessed the fall of Japanese families and lifestyles in the face of rising racism and sociopolitical unrest during World War II. Like a scroll, the sculptures’ carvings are laid out in chronological order from left to right in the front and back, forcing the viewer to follow along with the stories of the victims. The once traditional Japanese dining commons that provided a sense of community and care transformed into an overcrowded soup kitchen where sullen faces and empty stomachs fought over scarce food. The barbed wire, which used to keep animals out of the farm, has now thickened into jail wires that laced the internment camps, echoing dehumanization and false criminality. The fishing embargo ship was instead a train on the other side, ...
