Threads | An Exploration of Chinese American Adoption
Medium: Publication design, handmade book binding, banner design
Threads explores Chinese American adoption through publication design, handmade book binding, and Chinese paper cut art. By tying together the creator’s personal experience with historical records, interviews, photography, and illustration, Threads becomes an immersive, interactable testament to the Chinese American adoptee experience. The project draws on modern and historical Chinese and Western art and design, depicting the duality of adoption and the adoptee identity. As a result, viewers are invited to learn about, and reflect on, lived experiences that may differ from their own.
