Turbulence is my current answer to the ongoing journey to realise my identity.

Throughout the last few years, I have not been able to settle with my Chinese and Japanese nationalities. Though I call Hong Kong my home, I continue to experience instability with where I belong. I describe it as an ungroundedness.

By tracing my own footsteps, along with digging through the depths of history between Hong Kong and Japan, I attempt to piece my dual identities together and present it in tangible forms. I intervene with locations where I previously made the first strides into my self-discovery, and where those who came before me fought in The Battle of Hong Kong during World War II. Turbulence is not my final stop; as the title of my work suggests, I am experiencing difficulties and have yet to land on a concrete answer to who I am.
