Gui 鬼 is a photographic exploration of the cyclical nature of loss, alienation, and the quest for belonging. The ghost of a 19th-century Chinese laborer emerges in the present-day San Francisco’s Chinatown, a site saturated with histories of displacement. Each image acts as a portal, suspending the viewer between temporal thresholds, where past narratives resurface and intertwine with the present. The locations depicted in the series reflect the ongoing struggles of the Chinese diaspora—stories of historic prejudice and systemic discrimination, tracing their reverberations into contemporary acts of violence against immigrants. Here, history is neither linear nor fixed but continuously reconstituted, offering a visual map of migration, memory, and regeneration—where identities drift, dissolve, and reform, much like ghosts inhabiting layered worlds.
