This documentary portraiture project creates a radical intersection between ancient Chinese shamanic traditions and Hong Kong's emerging Voidpunk counterculture. At its heart lies a powerful new mythology where monsters and outcasts find belonging in each other. By reimagining the Nine Deities from Qu Yuan's 3rd-century BCE poem, Jiu Ge (The Nine Songs), as cyberpunk monsters who spurn humanity but embrace the Voidpunks, the work explores how we can transmute the parts of our identities that society deems alien into sources of divine power and unconventional intimacy. 

When I arrived in the Hong Kong megalopolis in 2023, a profound sense of isolation and displacement took hold. As a Canadian-born, South Asian photographer, the city's dense infrastructure mirrored my internal loneliness. I lived as a quiet observer on the margins until the summer of 2024, when I crossed paths with Voidpunk—a radical counterculture of LGBTQ+ individuals, neurodivergent minds, and creative outcasts who reclaim the stigma of being "othered" by forging non-human identities known as Voidsonas. It was here that I met Holok Chen, the Oracle of this community, and the trajectory of my practice shifted forever. In collaboration with Holok Chen & the Voidpunks
