In several afternoon tea sessions with my grandma, sister, and mom, I listened to the stories of my grandmother’s childhood in China during the occupation. Using context clues, I traced the locations my grandma would have traveled to as she escaped up the Dong River into the mountains. Using data from google maps, I 3D printed the topography of these locations, creating a grid of disjointed land. She traveled all throughout Europe, and eventually landed in Canada. This piece reflects upon the journey so many immigrants make over land and sea.
