FaceTime aims to explore the intimacy and power of family—both biological and chosen. It follows two Taiwanese-American siblings, Farrah and Andy, one living in Los Angeles and the other in New York City, as they navigate their identities and engage meaningfully with their individual communities, while their own sibling relationship evolves. Through self-documented phone footage and recorded FaceTime calls, the project explores these facets of self and examines how and when we choose to show our lives through technology.
