2018

The form of this cardboard structure is inspired by places that I've been to:
-Display cases from Mugar Memorial Library
-Domes from Isabella Gardner Museum
-Tables with two legs from Pavement (the coffee shop)
-Bedrooms in traditional Chinese mansions
In the drawers of this table are etchings and drawings done from photos that I took in Shanghai. As an international student, I have been switching lives between China and the U.S. for 6 years. I don't see myself identifying with either culture. At the end of 2017, I realized that because I traveled too much, Shanghai is no longer my home, and probably won't be in the future. But if Shanghai is not home, nowhere else could be home. But then I realized that since nowhere is home, everywhere should be home.
