Diasporic Texts in Illiteracy, 2023
HTML, CSS, Javascript, Wood, Ink
This capsule game emulates my experience reading my grandmas' texts – fractured, frustrating, and shameful. My illiteracy in Chinese is perpetually fraught with an aching loss: not just of the ability to read the language, but of the ability to ever fully connect with my family. Drudging across language chasms is an act of seeking intimacy. Infer the missing words and enter your guesses in the text box.
