Sweat, tears, or the sea is a two-part photo-series that comments on the physical space of where 1) working-class Asian-American parents spend their days working (i.e. dry cleaners, restaurants, grocery stores, beauty supplies) to support their families and 2) to capture the tenderness, beauty, and product of the children to create an identity of what it means for them to know that their family has chosen the path of “sweat, tears, or the sea” in America.
