Sway Away intimately explores the intricate decisions of Chinese women contemplating the choice to leave or stay in China, delving into profound shifts in cultural identity and personal growth through immigration. Using dance, voice memos, and emotions, the project vividly expresses transformative journeys. It serves as both a collective story and personal reflection, mirroring my own experiences of constant movement through cultures. Sway Away invites viewers to witness the dynamic interplay of individual journeys and cultural identities, challenging perceptions and celebrating the beauty of change and self-discovery.
