Based on the Australian passport but is an entire reconstruction, screen-printed anew from the artist's designs. Using the form of the passport, it tells the story of the journey that the passport allows. It is autobiographical, telling the story of the artist's life from his arrival in Australia from Hong Kong, and the process of becoming Australian.
