Uploaded the two assessed photographs for my Digital photography project, "You are here, I am there" about the self and identity, including another photograph which I considered for the final presentation but chose not to use.

With these shots, I was trying to express my cultural identity (or in relation to these photographs, the model who is Thai but with Chinese heritage) as displaced in the city of Sydney in which I have lived in for the last five years. I find that within my living environment, the only connection there is to my Chinese heritage (or anyone's, given they have that background) is the Chinatown district of the city. That area, to me, simply emanates with things I find familiar, without having the sense of complete connection.

(Hopefully that makes some sense. Art is always so hard to describe)

Currently working on my final analogue and digital projects, which are both self-directed. Hoping to keep exploring the concept of the disconnection and lack of identity in the city of Sydney. Thinking of Philip-Lorca diCorcia's work, fused with the cultural identification in Tracey Moffatt's work...

Till then, stay cool.
