“What were you worried about? is a print series that explores my mother’s narrative of displacement and the fear behind the belying façade of her glamorous passport photo. I asked my mother about her worries when she was immigrating to Canada. In the varied edition, her enlarged passport photo was printed on semi-translucent Japanese paper and layered on top of her text narrative, alluding to hidden fears behind the charming smile. This work is juxtaposed with Papers, Please, a commentary on the immigration process and the reduction of identity onto redundant, bureaucratic forms.
