This photo attempts to capture the Chinese diaspora through a mixture of Asian and Western imagery to reflect upon my mixed race heritage.

Growing up half Chinese, I often felt embarrassed about that part of my heritage due to social stigmas towards Chinese culture. I would love to alter this perception and instead honour this part of me.

This is a very common thing people of colour experience growing up in the Western world and I, being white in passing, have had a completely unique experience to those who aren't.

Culture identity is broad and diverse and each celebration of it is a fight against the rampant colourism, featurism and racism in our society.
