Those Things
This photographic series investigates the relationships between people and their everyday
objects—possessions that become meaningful through frequent use and emotional attachment.
Through social media surveys, I gathered 18 participants with migration backgrounds, mostly
from East Asian countries, especially China. My own migration experience creates a personal
connection with these participants, making this practice deeply meaningful.
