go see*

 

This project is in collaboration with Ramona Jingru Wang. Taking a cue from Juergen Teller’s iconic “Go-Sees” series, “go see*” adopts the familiar ‘go-see’ format but weaves in a narrative that is both intimate and revelatory. “go see*” is more than just a photo series—it’s a response to the fashion industry. Each ‘go-see’ acts as a poignant reminder of the richness of individual narratives that often get overshadowed by a singular, often misinformed, notion of ‘Asian-ness.’ This project hopes to cast a fresh, discerning gaze on the Asian models of today, capturing not just their visages, but the depth, diversity, and resilience they embody in an industry that frequently oscillates between appreciation and appropriation.

Special thanks to the brands involved: Sandy Liang, Tae Park, Zimo, Asato Kitamura, Seree, and Pipenco Lorena.
