My work uses photography to explore my cultural identity as British and Chinese and the constant construction and reconstruction of this identity that occurs due to my experiences with the world. For example, racism and the lack of representation of East Asian people in the UK. These experiences have caused an instability and precariousness in my identity which I symbolise through the construction of still lifes, using banana skin and flesh to symbolize my own. The use of the banana is specifically used to question whether I am truly white on the inside and yellow on the outside or if that is just forced upon me. I use my work as a healing and reflective practice, looking back over my life experiences and examining how they have affected me and how I can move forward and heal from them. Colour plays a prominent role within my work with reference to the perceived queerness of bright colors and further the cultural significance of red, in both China and Britain, and blue in Britain. I explore these themes in conjunction with spirituality, as a documentation of a personal ritual–a ritual of healing.
