I started following the Anti-ELAB protests in Hong Kong intently since July 1, 2019 —
checking the news, reading up on forums and watching livestreams — every moment awake, or half-awake.
This daily act has become a huge part of who I am, as if by doing so I could bridge the immense disconnect
and guilt I feel 8,000 miles away from events I deeply care about.
I collected screenshots from September 11, 2019*, taking a photo and recording information
about its content and time accessed everytime I actively search for information pertaining the protests,
or came across information on my social media accounts.
