Silverlens proudly announces that The Tukad Kad Sequence #04 by Yee I-Lann is now part of the collection of The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. Since the 1990s, Yee I-Lann has explored the intersection of personal stories and post-colonial histories. In 2018, she began to produce mats with the Dusun and Murut women of northern Borneo as a way to recenter the narrative of Malaysian history to the indigenous communities of Sabah, where she was born and raised.

In the lobby hangs a large painting by Leo Valledor from 1970 in which a loosely rendered white circle nearly fills its circular canvas. Paint drips from the bottom of the shape, threatening to spill over the edge of the canvas itself. 'Legacies' functions similarly; its tightly focused container of race, geography, and time highlights the impossibility of encircling the “leaky” category of Asian-American identity, as Sharon Mizota described it.
