I am making, thinking, working and living on stolen Cammeraygal and Gadigal lands of the Eora nation as an uninvited guest. I would like to acknowledge and pay my respects to the elders past, present and emerging. Sovereignty was never ceded.

蜂蜜豆漿Soy Milk & Honey

 2021

Facemask performance, 11 minutes, single-channel video

exhibited as part of Astro Ark, KEPK Gallery, October 2021



Soy Milk and Honey 蜂蜜豆漿 centres an intimate act of care between an Australian Born Cantonese and a Hong Kong immigrant. As they peel off each other’s ‘skin,’ they tread through how embodied heritage and traditions intersects with present political landscapes. Their whispered fears, loud giggles, candid confessions and whimpers of pain depict the conflicting understanding of being a queer Cantonese couple. They peel off and acknowledge the lack of energy in revolting to exist, or to only be valued when desired by men. Desiring each other, protecting and being protected by another asian woman becomes a way to dissolve their collective trauma.
