body of work soft are hazy memories, like that surrounding rising planes, and gas of cars out of driveways
bring this to auntie
to never really truly know, to never really truly see the face of what we bury
chopsticks and spoons fall to the beat of temple drums
when will we next see this warm place
my memories were made 20 years ago in the hands and feet of my mum
In a distant land...
thank you!

2024soft are hazy memories, like that surrounding rising planes, and gas of cars out of driveways is a reflection of the five homes my family has moved to and lived in during my upbringing. Playing with ideas of layering, erasure, incompleteness and fragmented memory, I mend gaps of half-drawn memories of these homes. The project attempts to recollect lost personal objects and belongings of the past, speaking to migrant narratives of loss and longing found in relocation.
