回家 (Huí Jiā)

回 (Huí) translates as circle, time, to go back, to turn around and/or to answer; and 家 (Jiā) as home and/or family. Together they mean to go back home. Developed between The Basque country and Madrid, at the three households where the author grew, 回家 (Huí Jiā) is a project (2017- Ongoing) that documents his identity search processes as an adopted, trans, and Chinese person. An essay about life itself that discusses topics such as passage of time, change and the emotions that arise in the midst of it; self-knowledge, desire and sexuality; uprooting, sadness, intimacy and loneliness. "Who is the real me? Who am I hiding under all these layers? Where am I from? Where do I come from? Who do I come from? Am I from here or from there? Yun Ping or Yaiza Cabrera? Man or woman? Before or after? Masculinity or femininity? Drag or out of drag? Face or mask? Transsexualization or Cisheteronorm? Light or dark? Beginning or end? Life or death?" The work challenges the limits of gender through the creation and development of the drag character, that inhabits femininity through a transmasculine body; that is undone to be made again, that goes to the place of origin.
