It is an interview-based cyanotype book portfolio. Participants brought special objects from their hometowns, evoking memories of being a stranger. These items, tied to indelible memories, remind them of home, family, and friends, reflecting a tenacity to move on and embrace the future. The cyanotype process, requiring time exposure and water flushing, mirrors the migration journey.Sunlight reveals images through objects, creating ethereal blue memories that skim the surface.
The works on paper record some special objects around each person. The artist invites the immigrant to bring along a special object, which is related to her/his journey, and through this object, connects the indelible imprint and memory of being a foreigner. The image of this object is created on paper through cyanotype.

这是一本以访谈为基础的蓝晒艺术家书合集。参与者带来了家乡的特殊物品，唤起了他们作为异乡人的记忆。这些物品与不可磨灭的记忆联系在一起，让他们想起了家乡、家人和朋友，反映了他们勇往直前、拥抱未来的顽强精神。蓝晒需要时间曝光和水冲洗，它反映了迁徙的旅程。阳光透过物品展现图像，创造出浮光掠影的空灵蓝色记忆。
纸面作品记录了每个人身边一些特别的物件。艺术家邀请移民携带一件特别的物件，这些物品之特别和她/他的历程有关，通过这些物品，联系着作为异乡人抹不去的烙印和记忆。通过蓝晒，将这件物件的形象创作于纸面。
它是空灵飘渺的蓝色幽灵，像每个游子的记忆历历在目，却又浮光掠影。
