Synopsis This piece is dedicated to my late Grandpa. Home is a concept that is embedded firmly inside of me even though I am far away from it in terms of physical distance. I do not want to surrender to the trap of staying at home without first trying to figure out if it is the best option for me. So I consider my decision to be on itinerant since 2011 as a commitment in searching for a truer definition of home. Through relocating myself in alien territories, I am an anonymous foreigner who is not grounded, without a socially prescribed life to live up to, and far enough away so that I can distance myself from the burden of home and from overwhelming relationships. And yet as an itinerant artist, I could not invest too much energy in the idea on missing people, and/or places, as it is exhausting and energy draining. Instead of missing someone or some places, I go visit - and revisit - them whenever possible. Meanwhile I carry them with me in my heart, as in my work.

“I could not be more grateful for having my trip sponsored by NAE, as without
NAE\'s sponsorship, I could not afford to do this trip. It was meaningful for me
to see my work being shown for the 1st time in the Asia Pacific Region.
Besides, I got the opportunity to meet artists who share similar interests and
concerns as mine and the conversation and discussions I had with them very

Besides, I got the opportunity to meet artists who share similar interests and
concerns as mine and the conversation and discussions I had with them very
inspiring. Furthermore, I got the chance to meet with the audience in person so
that I could learn from them directly their comments and responses to my work. All
in all, it has been a very fruitful trip as I'm really happy that I made it
there in person to see my work. Thanks to the generous support from NAE, I
would say my hard work and effort that I invested in making my work is being
rewarded.”
