懷 pronounced ‘huai’ in Chinese and doesn’t have any meaning by itself.

But when it combines with other characters, they become a word that bring out a meaning of them.

The character ‘huai’ combined with other characters can compose 8 independent words that represent my various

feelings after moving to LA and starting my college student life those can be imagined as a storybook.

This piece of work mainly illustrates the memory about Shanghai food, my childhood time with family, new life living with

my boyfriend which includes a lot of intimacy and a hard time of me learning photography as well as getting over body shame problem.
