	In my art practice I often employed the aesthetic of oriental art. Through my series of work, I have explored the notion of belonging. It is reflecting the social phenomenon, which we have encountered. I am interested in the subject of social phenomenon (culturally) and the affect of different experiences. This series seeks the balance between the familiar and unfamiliar. It is also a projection of different experiences of immigrants in different environments. The conceptual idea of my photography series is working across with the idea of ‘alienation’. The idea of been alienated from the familiar and becoming isolated in their own environment. The contrast between images was illustrated by colours and oriental objects (i.e. shoes and cloth pattern). The doll like red shoes were surrounded by wild environments; and the featureless face along with the detail and delicate pattern outline the sense of exiled from the familiar and unfamiliar.
