“I visited my cousins in the aftermath of the earthquake of 2 April, 2024. In the space of a month, the island had experienced more than 1,000 aftershocks. This unusual instability of the earth echoed the diplomatic blurring of internationals relations. This long-term project highlights the nuances and complexities of the Taiwanese situation. It follows people of different regions into adulthood, including my cousin, who will soon be serving in the military. I am interested in how the current political situation influences their sensibilities and the construction of identities.”
