“On a tiny island” is a collaboration with Peixuan Ouyang. As queer women of color and immigrants, we’ve always grappled with the feeling of not belonging anywhere. “It’s like we are stuck on this tiny island,” she once said to me. This series, then, is an attempt to reconnect with the world beyond us, to reach for the unreachable, to demand to be seen. To make a tiny island home.
