Portrait: please see attachment Related Image: I’ve also attached an image for you promotion if needed The black and white seascape photograph was taken from the seashore of Stanley, Hong Kong, in 2017 — the place where my parents illegally landed in 1979. The photograph is embroidered with the line: “She had been seasick and vomiting all the while, a bitterness lingered in her mouth,” an excerpt from an interview with my mother in 2018. This work marks my initial attempt to give form to the abstract emotions and embodied experience of a diasporic journey through art.
