Peephole portrays the perspectives of Asian migrants who live in Europe. Since the COVID-19 pandemic, anti-Asian xenophobia has increased all over the world. Due to the pretext of preventing COVID-19, anti-Asian racism is now tolerated in society. However, the seriousness of the racism issue is very troubling in day-to-day life. The mass media has reported anti-Asian xenophobia cases and how fear has permeated even the home atmosphere, which should be a safe haven. The peephole’s perspective represents negative emotions, such as anxiety, fear, despair, and depression, and the UV-printed newspaper articles on the glass during the ten months of COVID-19 amplify these emotional problems.
