Birds, the flowers, and them
Birds, the flowers, and them

I made this project during the Identity Crisis I had as a Chinese person coming to Switzerland in late 2019- early 2020. It made me wonder how Chinese immigrants would describe their nationalities and identities.

I put my camera focused on three Chinese person who lived in Lausanne for different time. One came here for studying, one graduated and started to work here and was becoming a Swiss citizen, one is a Chinese restaurant owner who moved here 20 years ago and has children and family here.
