“Unveiling the Unseen: Teresa Wong Explores the Extraordinary Depths of Everyday Life in Her Graphic Memoir”
TW: I knew back from the first draft in 2005 or 2006 when I really started working on this in earnest, like I had, I had always loved that quote from Joy Kogawa’s Obasan, “All our ordinary stories are changed intime, altered as much by the present as the present is shaped by the past.” because I just liked how it kind of spoke to the fact that the meaning of stories, change kind of as you go through your life, like as new information is added as you grow up, as you become a mother, that kind of thing. And then I really loved how that dovetailed with the fact that my mom literally thought that her story was ordinary. It was the title from the start.
