Portray and Write

The ongoing project Portray and Write is a painting + talking practice where she invites her queer Chinese friends she met since 2021 when she first moved to London. One by one she sits with them for a 5ish hour’s life portrait session, where they talk at the same time exchanging their life experiences as young Chinese diaspora and the same challenges they face from a daily basis as a transnational being. These sessions are almost therapeutic, providing both sides a focused time to see themselves and each other, resonate and heal.
