“Unveiling the Unseen: Teresa Wong Explores the Extraordinary Depths of Everyday Life in Her Graphic Memoir”
LL: Well, I would say that’s your gift as an artist.
TW: Like the story of my mom’s escape and going through the forest. I had written that out, but it fell kind of flat, and it didn’t really have the intensity that I wanted. And being able to do all of her hiking and or laying on the ground to sleep in the daytime, all of that, is so much better conveyed through the images and then than I could have done in just straight prose.
LL: So now I have a million new questions, but I do want to say that your map on page 85 really shows this. You have the bus, and then they are biking, and then hiking, and then swimming. I can’t even imagine thinking, ‘Oh, I could do that.’
