This illustration is part of a group exhibition at the Chinese Canadian Museum called Reshaping Collections: Where History Meets Art, in which a group of artists were asked to respond to the Chung Collection at UBC, a collection of over 25 000 artifacts and items amassed throughout Dr. Wallace B. Chung's life. These items relate to the early history of British Columbia, immigration/settlement of the Chinese community, and the Canadian Pacific Railway Company.

I was asked to respond to this collection within a Where's Waldo framework, showcasing the vastness of this collection and the dedication required to accumulate a collection of this size and calibre. I created an imagined museum space in isometric perspective where artifacts, items, and photos from the Chung Collection are spread throughout the illustration. The museum space is filled to the brim with patrons moving through the space, inspecting the collection, and connecting with one another. I wanted to underscore the never-ending process of learning and sharing histories and that requires the active participation of everyone -- in and outside of the museum.

This is the checklist items and artifacts from the Chung Collection that can be found in the illustration. You can also spot Dr. Wallace B. Chung in the museum as well.

Some items were unfortunately cut out of the physical installation at the Chinese Canadian Museum, but I thought it would be nice to include a list with a few bonus items for those who are interested.

These are some of the photos I took during my visit to the Chung Collection at UBC. Some items include, but are not limited to, a CPR locomotive model; a painting of the Empress of Asia, which is the ship that Dr. Chung's mother came to Canada on; a slide projector; old Mah Jong, Pai Gow, and Fan Tan game sets, and a close up of the Empress of Asia model that Dr. Chung spent countless hours repairing.
