"Chicago (7:44PM)"
In celebration of AAPI Month, Chicago-based artist David Heo created a limited edition screen print as a souvenir that honors this month through identity, memory, and cultural hybridity.
The piece draws from both personal and collective references: traditional Asian screen paintings, the charm of 1940s baseball advertisements, and the hazy warmth of summer nights. It is a visual reflection of the layered threads that shape Heo’s experience as a Third-Culture Individual.
“Chicago is known as a city of big shoulders, and I’m grateful for her stature,” he shares. “Through that strength and sense of safety, I’ve found community here and space to grow as an artist. I made this print as a totem, something that holds memory and imagination, inspired from all the pieces that make me who I am.”
Whether you're collecting in celebration of AAPI Month or connecting to the story woven within, this print carries a quiet sense of belonging and a vivid reminder of Chicago as home.
