Photo collage with personal narratives of foreign domestic helpers. “Unseen” is a photo collage of the slippered feet of 100 domestic helpers in Hong Kong, gathered over a period of two weeks, together with personal narratives of 70 of the featured women. The collage helmed American literary journal, AAWW’s Slipper Folio, a special collection of works inspired by the humble slipper. I pay homage to the hardworking, resilient women who wear these slippers, day in, day out, rain or shine.
