My Journey of My Life, 2023

I am Cambodian and English and a bit Polish. I am funny, introverted, sarcastic and i like pink.

This is a piece about how i have moved through the world.

My journey began in Cambodia where i was born. My sister and my brother are from Cambodia too. We were all adopted in Singapore by our parents.

Over my lifetime I have had 3 cats in total: Harry, in Singapore, where I met my family; Slinky, and Bing Bing in our first London house; 5 hamsters: apple, apple, apple, apple, and apple (my brother liked the name apple) and two rabbits: Ellie and Floppy, in our second London house.

We have a new house in Bristol, its cheaper. We are moving there soon - not sure how i feel about it all.

In this piece I used pastels and biro. I like these materials because they are soft, smooth materials (unlike my bumpy journey of my life which has been looooong- but my dog Jojo makes me very happy.
