Reflection:
"While participating in an information session about the Ancestral Futures zine project at the University of California, Riverside, I started drawing one of the presenters along with objects from their special collection. These people and items quickly turned into a remixed sci-fi scene. A moccasin became a spaceship. An ancestral pendant became a space station. And a librarian became "The Last Librarian."

Reflection:
“The discovery of old Hong Kong photos in our digital collection, showing my second hometown nearly a century ago, is a surprise. The images of barefoot bearers, representing a bygone occupation, evoked mixed feelings. Shoes, symbolizing humanity's journey from barbarism to civilization, also witness persistent hierarchy. This reminds me of the shoes I saw in our Native American collection. In an attempt to bridge these two worlds, I embark on writing this story.”
