Artist R. Kikuo Johnson writes, “‘Delayed,’ my cover for this week’s issue of The New Yorker. I’m grateful that The New Yorker is spotlighting the rise in anti-Asian attacks and humbled by the opportunity to speak about them. For every emotion I felt last week, I tried a different approach ranging from angry calls to action to celebrations of pride. In the end, my narrow skillset is one of a storyteller, and out of all the sketches, this image seemed to best capture the moment.”
