Suanna Zhong

I am a junior at Carnegie Mellon studying Computer Science and Fine Art with a minor in Animation and Special Effects.

The computer is not my enemy. Do not tell me to paint French gardens when so much of my time is spent gazing at the computer.

Coming from a family of engineers, much of my work tells stories of my experiences: growing up queer in an Asian household, my relationship to CS, and my identities in relation to social structures. I enjoy making work about my family as I find it interesting to compare and contrast how our struggles changed generationally, and the events that shaped our values. Also, I explore how queerness is more than someone’s identity—it can be an ideology for an individual to live their life by.
