For mommy, who has shown time and time again her resilience and strength

給媽媽 , 她一次又一次地表現出她的韌性和力量

Dear Mommy tells the story of a daughter growing up in a Chinese Canadian household. Through videos of my childhood, I relive the love that my mom has given to me and my brother. This website is a thank you message to my mom. I am recounting this story through my lens as a second-generation daughter, collecting pieces of memories and weaving them together to create this interactive narrative that hopefully others can resonate with.

《親愛的媽媽》講述了一個在加拿大華裔家庭長大的女孩的故事。通過我童年的視頻,我重溫了媽媽給我和我兄弟的愛。這個網站是給我媽媽的感謝信。作為第二代女兒,我通過鏡頭講述這個故事,收集記憶碎片並將它們編織在一起,創造出這種互動式的敘事,希望其他人能與之產生共鳴。
