Hi Greg, we’re so happy to get a chance to speak with you again, this time about your first solo show in London, Homecoming. Congratulations on that! How do you feel?
Thank you! It is so great to be speaking again. It has been overwhelming, with Homecoming being my first solo exhibition in London. However, I am super excited to see this finally coming together and extremely grateful that I am able to share my work with friends and the local London community.
What was the process of preparing for the exhibition, selecting the images, and working with the space like for you?
I was very lucky to be working with Peach/ pages on this exhibition. Peach/ pages is a community-led platform that celebrates Asian artists in the UK by creating a supportive and empowering environment for artists to showcase their work. Having that kind of support network was essential, as I couldn’t have done it alone. I’m incredibly grateful to Kristina and Soyoung for their unconditional support and effort.

How do you think your background helps you work together and bring a new perspective to the world of photography?
I was not very appreciative of architecture as a discipline while I was attending it. In fact, I never wanted to study it, but all the fashion or photography universities were too expensive for my family, and I didn’t manage to get a scholarship.
