TOUCHPhotobook, 2022
When I physically stand on one continent while my heart lies across the sea.
When I see togetherness in distancing moments, and the other way around.
When I had doubts, disappointments, and estrangement.
When I couldn’t break the intangible barrier between our intimacy.
When I see the beaming sunlight but could only think of a storm.
When I hear the whale calling but couldn’t see him from far away.
All ending with tangible joy.
Love is when I reach my hand to touch, yet suddenly draw back.
When I see togetherness in distancing moments, and the other way around.
When I had doubts, disappointments, and estrangement.
When I couldn’t break the intangible barrier between our intimacy.
When I see the beaming sunlight but could only think of a storm.
When I hear the whale calling but couldn’t see him from far away.
All ending with tangible joy.
Love is when I reach my hand to touch, yet suddenly draw back.
