Dear me,
Born as an Asian Canadian, I’m constantly on a journey to discover who I am. My glasses are a symbol of my quest to discover and embrace my Asian heritage. Looking back, my connection to my culture has evolved significantly. The elements around me are plum blossoms which are Taiwan’s national flowers, symbolizing my upbringing and my roots. The stuffed toy and messily drawn artwork symbolizing my childhood. This piece dives into my childhood, capturing the essence of my younger self and the significance of my Chinese name.
