Harry _ Culture and Community

In this project, I explored the ideas of community and family while living in the United States without my parents. I wanted to show what it feels like to move between different communities but never fully feeling like I belong to either one. I also explored the impact of being separated from my parents, and how that distance affects my sense of identity. Although my family appears in some of the photos, these images represent both connection and absence at the same time. I wanted to show that while my family can still provide a sense of identity, reminding me of who I am, that connection can also feel distant and difficult sometimes, especially because of their absence in my everyday life.

I also included landscapes of Hong Kong to connect the project to the community where I grew up. These images represent memory and familiarity. I included them to show the contrast between my past and present life. I wanted to capture my own feeling of living between two worlds while searching for belonging and identity within both through this project.
