Artist Statement

I photograph everyday scenes in Hong Kong to document my life as a migrant/domestic worker here. Instead of photographing myself though, I decided to train my lens on the people and scenes around me. With this approach, I am more able to connect with the city and its people. Capturing candid moments that reflect my thoughts and life as a migrant helps me adapt to the city’s culture, its people and my living environment which in turn, makes me feel more at home. It also makes me understand more the life I have to face as a migrant.
