"There is a kind of stupefaction in seeing a familiar being dressed differently"-Roland Barthes

It seems that I know the objects well but not really understanding its owner, my mother. She came to Hong Kong with just a small box of things. Every objects she brought tell us her thoughts and situation. By looking together with an old image, they enhanced each other and provided a more clear picture of a young girl.

"當你看見熟悉的人在相中呈現完全不同的模樣，似乎會使人感到驚慌。"- 羅蘭•巴特

​

縱使我對這些物件具一種熟悉的感覺，但似乎我對它們的擁有者-我的母親沒有足夠的認識。她來香港的時候只帶著一小個箱，所有物件都訴說著她的狀態。把物件與舊照片並列，似乎能令我更清楚地看到相中的年輕女士。
