"In my early work, I used to draw only from observation to help me build a better sense of belonging. However, the more I drew my everyday life, the less it became easy for me to define where I situated myself culturally speaking. To compensate, I started to investigate the theme of childhood and home in different mediums such as textile, installation and photography. It naturally unfolded into learning more about the country I was adopted from. My current practice addresses the absence of knowledge coming from Mainland China about cultural uprooting of Chinese adoptees in the West. In parallel with learning Mandarin, my art practice is a self-learning journey to navigate the sense of (be)longing beyond territorial borders."
