Uprooting Mandarin
HD video, parallex scroll activated with accompanying text
2015

A digital project for West Space Journal — What was a mining boom?, Issue 4, Autumn 2015

Uprooting Mandarin focuses on the forced repetition of violent uprooting of a small seedless mandarin tree, as a metaphor for migration, misunderstanding and the precarious definition of identity.
