The work we made in the Hmong villages did not begin only when a camera started recording. It began with an interview, a piece of embroidery unfolded again and again, an old song heard in a family hall, and time spent at a market or on the riverbank. In the end, those encounters became a documentary, a field Vlog, student shorts, and a mark that continues to grow.
These works do not attempt to offer a complete explanation of Hmong culture. They are closer to repeated acts of approach: seeing the labour within a festival, listening for family memory within a craft, and asking again how a place—and the people who live there—should be represented.
In 2023, a documentary grew from eight days of fieldwork in Shidong. In 2025, the cameras returned to the Qingshui River, where a field Vlog and a series of student shorts followed festivals, craft, family life, local economies, and community collaboration.
Starting from Hmong embroidery, silver ornaments, paper cuttings, and ancient legends, we bring traditional aesthetics into contemporary life without straying from their original stories.
