Al Wong: Lost Sister is a meditation on a family member the artist never met. In this series of sixty-four unique but related variations of a portrait of a young woman, the artist attempts to imagine and capture the psychological pressures felt by the subject, who was trapped in China and unable to join her family in the United States.
Lost Sister, presented here in its entirety for the first time, is a formal exercise in collage that quietly captures the feelings of alienation, estrangement, and confinement experienced by both Chinese immigrants and family members left behind, as personal histories collide with geopolitical conflicts and revolution.
