The Eyes of the Shadow" is a media installation that offers voice to some overshadowed individuals in Macau. This project illuminates the thoughts, feelings, and experiences of those we don't usually hear, through a series of pictures overlaid with animated phrases and audios that was collected from interviews. "What are their thoughts and feelings like as they live in the "shadow" of their suffocating life?" This project's goal is to demonstrate this idea, while also urging viewers to question their own beliefs and biases. "The Eyes of the Shadow" is a powerful and moving project that invites us to listen to the often-silenced hidden voices and to embrace our community's diversity and complexity.
