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. In this series, history is neither linear nor fixed but continually reconstituted, offering a visual map of migration, memory, and cultural regeneration. Like the ghostly presence it depicts, the work suggests that history is in perpetual motion, an ever-unfolding process of erasure and emergence.
