Do you have information on the background of the artists? You could start by comparing their intentions and meaning behind each work to each other, then compare and contrast that with your own interpretation how they relate, or don't, to each other. That hinges on how much of your own opinion the prof wants in this essay though.

I don't quite understand the "Family Tree" though to be honest. I'm gonna take a guess and say that he has the names of his ancestors written on his face until you can't see his skin. Stressing the importance that he is not his ancestors, he is his own unique individual and isn't defined by the past that he had no control over? Just wildly guessing haha. I'm going to bet that you have a much better understanding of Asian history/culture than I do, so you could also talk about the cultural significance of each work and compare that. Was one controversial and the other not, why, etc.

I had to do a paper like this a couple years ago for a writing class, choose a painting and explain what you get out of it in no less than 5 pages.. so I feel your pain.
