Mandarin Sandwich
"Growing up as a Chinese Australian, I often reflect on my journey in transitioning between two such diverse cultures, and how it transformed my personality and ideologies. I decided to create a multi-faced portrait of my younger self on my first night in Australia as this night holds a vivid place in my memory: the warm, hazy kitchen lights, watching my parents hurry in and out of the house while I excitedly assemble a mandarin sandwich with my sister. I was fascinated by how I manifested the adrenaline of being in a new country through this mandarin sandwich: the offbeat idea, the odd taste, the spontaneity of it all seemed fitting for that moment. Hence, I have decided to centralise this object as a symbol for entering a new environment, full of foreign yet exciting opportunities."
