Colors used: Milori Blue, T-DK Cyan Blue, T-LT. Trans baby Blue, T-Ultra Marine Blue, O-Yellow, O-Red, and O-Black; Seekrs of Gold refers to the desire of statistical information in matters especially of immigration and its effect on commerce, population and culture. Real numbers and actually available (sic.) in this work, and they seem to prefer the statistics in their imaginations. Seekers of Gold is intended for the viewer to recall the prevailing attributes given to Chinese immigrants who arrived in the United States in the 19th and 20th centuries. Despite laws intended to prevent discrimination in the workplace, the impact of the newly-arrived, then and now, on American culture is uneasy.
