Fulbeck confronts media images and interracial dating trends, using his own multiracial experience as a springboard, to encourage people to question how our own ethnic assumptions and views on cultural identity are shaped, prompting us to frankly consider, Who Am I?

Kip Fulbeck challenges media imagery of Asian men, interracial relationship habits, and symbols of race and sex in the United States, using his own Cantonese, English, Irish, and Welsh history as a springboard, continually asking where Hapas belong in a country that ignores multiraciality.

His work encourages and inspires audiences to consider how our own ethnic assumptions and perspectives on interracial dating, gender norms, and personal identity forms.
