Immigrating from Hong Kong to Canada, the first month was the dynamic changes of myself in a different environment and culture. I weaved the wool when I had the emotion, reflecting my insecurity in facing uncertainty, nervousness, and depression. The process of knitting wool reflects my emotional changes, every step may vary due to the moment of my inner feelings. The whole piece is not perfectly completed, it has holes, and it is narrowed at the end. I only used colorful wool which looks sharp and colorful on the surface. However, the meaning behind has the opposite meaning. The artwork will display to interact with the environment and the setting is changeable with different mediums to make the wool stretched in high-density tension. By making the wool in high tension, it can clearly show the details of the wool which also reflects every process of knitting and implies my depression.

Living in a different environment from before, I embrace the diversity and natural beauty of Canada. The wool, also acting as a rainbow, shows my mixed feeling of excitement and nervousness about discovering new places. There are always positive sides, followed by negative sides too. Tension, is me in a new country, trying to fit in the new society with hope and uncertainty, to adapt and transform. Therefore, I invited the audience to pin the maple leaves on the wool, to welcome a new stranger in the country.
