Helen Mengzhu Li is a visual artist and photographer straddling the cultural landscapes of both China and the UK. Her work is an exploration of the intricate identities that shape East Asian women. Li’s experience of living and studying outside of her home country has profoundly shaped her artistic vision, enabling her to interrogate the complexities of belonging. Daughter of My Mother examines this idea from the perspective of familial relationships, examining the shifting mother-daughter bond after a father’s death. The series captures fragility, femininity and the interplay of love, aspiration and regret.
