Each May, tung blossoms fall across Taiwan, marking the presence of Hakka culture. White petals carry stories of migration, memory, and resilience. At the center is a rain-filled tree hollow shaped like Taiwan, where petals float like echoes. This image becomes a metaphor for Hakka communities, often overlooked yet deeply rooted. Other photos extend this idea: petals on mossy stones, blossoms on temple walls, a flower in a child’s hand, and petals drifting through alleys. Culture lives in these moments and the bond between people and place.
