Spanning continents and timelines, Mimi's story begins in 1980s England as a young Chinese immigrant trying to make sense of a world that doesn't quite make room for her. As she is pulled between cultures and bombarded by conflicting expectations, Mimi quietly turns to art as a means of survival.
Years later, in the thick fog of new motherhood in regional Australia, Mimi's creative self, once so central, starts to unravel. What follows is part memoir, part internal reckoning. An incisive and visually explosive journey to understand not just how to make art again, but why it mattered so deeply in the first place.
The more she dismantles inherited expectations, identities, and survival mechanisms, the more urgently she's drawn toward the question beneath them all: what parts of me are truly mine?
