Ava\u2019s\ndesign work has been largely influenced by her lived experience as an Asian American woman,\nparticularly as a second-generation immigrant. She&#8217;s interested in further uncovering the nuances\nof her own identity as well as those in her immediate family. She has become super interested in\nhow migration affects the family structure, especially in terms of language and emotion.\nThroughout her studies at USF, she has gained lenses that allow for the confrontation of concepts\naround identity, which have continually emerged as major questions throughout the course of her\nLife.\n<\/p>\n    <\/div>\n  <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n    <div class=\"btl-project\">\n      <h1 class=\"btl-project-title\">What Does it Cost to Dream?<\/h1>\n      <p class=\"btl-project-statement\">What Does it Cost to Dream? is a publication about the ways that migration fundamentally and\ncontinually shifts the structure of a family and its dynamics. Conceptually, the book is grounded\nin the idea that frequently, women are the ones who are expected to shoulder the emotional cost\nof migration. The story functions as a chance to view how these expectations have directly\naffected my mother and grandmother. My intention was to visually demonstrate the continually\nshifting ideas around identity, and how the women in my life have frequently felt as though their\ninner lives were unable to be fully understood or translated. There are hopes, dreams, and\nlongings that have gone unsaid and been locked away; my goal has been to uncover them.<br>\n\n<br>The publication deals with themes of assimilation, diaspora, language, reimagining stories, and\nconceptions of the American dream. I decided to arrange the book through these sections in order\nto mirror this kind of roadmap of my understanding and visualization of the varying costs of\nmigration in both my personal life and, at large, in the world.\n<\/p>\n    <\/div>\n\n  <\/div>\n\n<footer class=\"btl-footer\">\n    <div class=\"btl-footer-col\">\n      <p class=\"btl-footer-site\">BETWEEN THE LINES<\/p>\n      <p class=\"btl-footer-muted\">USFCA Design &#038; Fine Arts<\/p>\n      <p class=\"btl-footer-muted\">Class of 2026<\/p>\n    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"btl-footer-col\">\n      <p class=\"btl-footer-heading\">Design<\/p>\n      <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/usfcadesign\/\">Instagram<\/a>\n      <a href=\"https:\/\/usfca.design\">Past Exhibitions<\/a>\n    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"btl-footer-col\">\n      <p class=\"btl-footer-heading\">Fine Arts<\/p>\n      <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/usfcafinearts\/\">Instagram<\/a>\n    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"btl-footer-col\">\n      <p class=\"btl-footer-heading\">Information<\/p>\n      <a href=\"\/2026\/information\">Information<\/a>\n      <a href=\"\/2026\/exhibition\">Exhibition<\/a>\n      <a href=\"\/2026\/directory\">Directory<\/a>\n    <\/div>\n  <\/footer>\n\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Exhibition Information Directory Ava Lang Pronouns: she\/her Major: Design byavalang.com Ava Lang is a multidisciplinary designer with an interest in branding and typography.
