About the Book
I was born in Taiwan, but I didn't grow up there. My family and I moved away in hopes of finding that elusive 'better future' before I could make any real memories for myself.
Time went by and I grew up loving our new home as my own, but no matter the distance, I couldn't shake-off this nagging feeling that I had left something in Taiwan, and often dreamed of going back - back to this overlooked, under-appreciated, and misunderstood island where I took my first breath. So, when I was twenty-five, I dropped everything and moved to Taiwan.
This photography book is a visual memoir of that journey[...]
我出生在台灣,但卻不是在這裡長大。 在我還來不及對台灣有任何真實記憶之前,因著我的家人期望找著那個難以捉摸的"更好的未來",於是我跟隨家人搬離了台灣。
時光流逝,我從小就愛著我們的新家,但無論距離多遠,我都無法擺脫那種曾經在台灣生活過的感受,常常夢想著回去 - 回去吧,回到那個被我忽視、低估和誤解的島嶼,那也是我人生第一次開始呼吸的地方。 所以,當我二十五歲的時候,我放棄了一切,回到了台灣。
這本攝影書正是這段旅程的視覺回憶記錄[...]

About the Creator
Olivia González Yun
Ontario, Canada
I was blessed with a culturally colourful home. Being raised by parents with contrasting cultural backgrounds - a charismatic Nicaraguan father and a strong-willed Taiwanese mother - is what nurtured my passion and curiosity for our world and its people. Photography came to me in a time of self-searching. It gave me the chance to escape from difficult moments in my life, forcing me to get out into the world and ultimately reminding me that there is a whole lot of beauty out there waiting for us to find it. Today my camera has become to a degree, a personal refuge. A way in which I can both explore and remember this one life that I've been gifted with.
