My Grandfather

My Grandfather is a personal photographic work that quietly documents my grandfather during the final years before I left China. Captured in 2019, the series preserves fleeting, intimate moments: slicing fruit, reading newspapers, organizing personal notes. These images form an emotional archive — a visual elegy to memory, familial connection, and time’s irreversible drift.

This work stands in contrast to my techno-feminist and AI-based projects. While much of my practice explores digital identity and posthuman transformation, My Grandfather roots itself in physical presence, intergenerational care, and domestic ritual. It reflects a core tension in my work — between the body and the machine, between heritage and acceleration.

Visually minimal yet emotionally resonant, the image invites viewers into a space of quiet resistance: where attention, intimacy, and slowness become acts of preservation. It’s a portrait of love without spectacle — a meditation on how memory survives not in monuments, but in the stillness of daily life.
