Wear my Mother's high heel shoes

The title of this artwork is taken from a Hong Kong children's song of the same name. As the song goes like 'wearing my mother's high heel shoes, I grow up in such a magic moment.' The artist puts up the old clothes of her parents. Based on the oral history of her parents, she acts out the experiences of her mother smuggling to Hong Kong in the 70s and her father emigrating to Taiwan in defeat of business in the 90s. She revisited the very spot where her mother went ashore when arrived at Hong Kong, and traveled all the way to Taiwan to her father for the video. The creative process signals a kind of diasporic feeling and the lack induced from the family, and the artist's yearning for stability, be it real or illusory.
