Summary:
"Pao Houa Her's compelling first monograph .... explores the fundamental concepts of home and belonging. Her's work draws inspiration from a myriad of sources: apocryphal family tales; portraits of the artist's community; and reimagined landscapes of home, invoking a cosmology grounded in the traditions and metaphors of the Hmong diasporic community" -- Back cover of dust jacket.
