Born to a Syrian-Lebanese father and Japanese American mother, much of Bianca’s work draws on her own experience navigating familial legacy, transnational culture, material language, and the politics of artifacts. Her most recent works explore the concept and paradoxes of time, mapping, and cartographies.
Bianca received her M.F.A. in Media Design Practices from the ArtCenter College and her B.A. in Communication from the University of Southern California.
