Born and raised in Hong Kong and currently based in Iowa City, Mei Lam So is enrolled in the printmaking graduate program at the University of Iowa. Her work explores issues and experiences surrounding the process of acculturation, such as the socio-cultural and psychological adjustments of bicultural Asian immigrants. Using printmaking, she creates spaces and narrates sharing her experience in navigating these conflicts and the overall change in her environment. Her current work investigates what the American dream means to immigrants, and how it creates conflicts and broadens the acculturation gap between immigrant parents and their offspring.
