Hi, I am Mofei!

CollectionsHow our daily life slowly unfolded with a child

Watching Her Grow Her Own Rhythm

So many changes in childhood don’t happen all at once. They arrive in small steps. A child begins to understand more during holidays. After kindergarten starts, she slowly grows her own friends, reactions, and rhythm. When you are beside her every day, it can be surprisingly hard to see how those changes are taking shape.

I put these pieces together because I wanted to show more fully how a child grows into everyday life in another country. It is a story about growth, yes, but also about adapting, watching, and those quiet moments when you suddenly realize she is really growing up.
