My inquiry question is "What is it like to leave your foster family after 7 years together?" I lived with my foster family for 7 years. I was suppose to go to China this spring, but because of Covid-19, I couldn't. I still want to stick with the same topic for my sustained investigation. 1st image is a baby picture of me blended in with my childhood documents. 2nd image is a picture of our last day together with my foster family. I placed the image on top of my childhood document because we celebrated my first birthday at age 11. I cut into pieces because we felt broken. 3rd image is all three images blended together, it is pictures of a letter, me in orphan and picture of me with my foster and new family. My new family wanted to see where I grew up so 4th and 5th images are pictures of people/neighbors in a crowd while my foster mom was crying. 6th image is a picture of the items that my foster family had left me so I'll always remember them. 7th and 8th images are flashbacks to my childhood. 9th image is myself looking back where I am today. Last image is a current self portrait. Band Aids and tape is a symbol of struggles and sadness. Pink represent happiness for my future.
