Achievement Unlocked

2026

Installation at Boathouse, Yuejin Art Museum, Tainan, Taiwan

Presented at Yuejin Art Museum's boathouse, this chapter of Achievement Unlocked examines migration through the relationship between place, memory, and movement. The exhibition situates individual narratives within a shared spatial context, inviting viewers to reflect on migration as an ongoing process of adaptation, belonging, and identity.

Twenty cloisonné enamel badges, each developed from interviews with members of the Hong Kong diaspora, were installed throughout the space as markers of everyday resilience. Together, they formed a collective narrative that invited visitors to reflect on the quiet achievements often overlooked in stories of migration.

The exhibition also featured 「造一章,留給自己」 (Create a Badge for Yourself), a public workshop that invited visitors to reflect on and celebrate their own everyday achievements through drawing, writing, and making wearable badges. By encouraging participants to contribute their own experiences, the workshop transformed the exhibition from a space of observation into one of participation and dialogue.

Accompanied by a publication documenting the research, interviews, and creative process, the Yuejin exhibition demonstrated how jewelry can function not only as an object of adornment but also as a platform for community engagement, collective storytelling, and shared memory.
