Adrift

In Adrift, I am trying to convey the confusion and uncertainty that my Taiwanese friends experience while living in New York City, pursuing their dreams yet still yearning to go back to Taiwan, the place that is home. I attempt to isolate my subjects in the context of their daily lives, emphasizing a tentative mood of transition. These images are like a flow of film stills, which let viewers project themselves into the ambiguities of these intimate spaces.
