Artist’s Statement:<\/p>\n

I took a photograph in the swimming pool where I once drowned, the place where I once
\n<\/em>dieted, and the land where the Chinese female medics once shaved. Scanning, I cut a piece of
\n<\/em>hair, a piece of myself.<\/em><\/p>\n

In my ongoing self-portrait series titled Tales of Three Lands, I unravel Chinese female
\n<\/em>identities, diet culture, and social media isolations by resituating myself in various settings.
\n<\/em>From droning, dieting, scanning, and alternatively cutting, I regard those photos as a process
\n<\/em>of searching through my identities. From frame to frame, I feel empowered as I wrap pieces
\n<\/em>of my personality to every Image I make, as if in this way I could sew the imagined lands of
\n<\/em>my consciousness into a tale of its own.<\/em><\/p>\n
