Far from Home-
Errant Alien
Being a foreigner from Taiwan, sometimes I feel I am like
an errant alien in the U.S. I am still leading a vagrant
life to pursuit my goal and look for my destination. Through
a humorous and teasing way, it presents how I look different
from and how I exist between others in a Western society.
The SUV covered with pink Chinese brocade symbolizes myself,
a Taiwanese girl, whose exterior looks meek but who is very
strong inside. Even my appearance is Chinese (Taiwanese),
but the way to make a living is Western. This pink-covered
SUV is a funny and strange character between other cars.
It looks fake, but it is functional; it is a real car, but
it is covered. It conveys my contradiction and ignorance
as a foreigner. Through the photography, it expresses a continuing
vagrant journey.
