The project focuses on the exploration of intimacy in the family, using traditional technical camera work alongside collage and the interweaving of old images in the production of the book and the presentation of the exhibition.The project consists of photographic images, exhibition installation, and two different kinds of photobook.

By reorganizing my grandmother’s handmade family album, I create new memories of family members that feel both intimate and distant. This collection of photographs spans from the 1960s to the 1980s, capturing the family’s struggles. The reconstruction transforms familiarity into something unfamiliar. Through the process of photographing, I establish new connections with family members and the places they inhabited. While taking pictures becomes a daily ritual, it simultaneously distances the images from the realism of life. The absence of distinct symbols results in ambiguous identities for each figure in the photos, making the album potentially representative of any Chinese family. A Chinese model family begins to emerge through the visual narrative of the photographs.
