The Apricot Outlook of Katherine Koon Hung Wong

"My journey is just beginning, continuing, with no ending".

In Chinese artwork, flowers, fruits, and trees represent various aspects of life and if you know the symbolic meaning of a plant, it will enable you to understand the hidden message. Apricots represent female elegance; the large seed is ovoid shaped like the eyes of an Oriental beauty.

At times, when Katherine begins to reflect on her past, her thoughts flow into the present. Death and dying seemed to have a devastating impact on her life. There are plenty of references to sex which she didn't mind sharing, and she learned what to do at the onset of puberty.


Through a better understanding of our families, we acquire an appreciation for their struggles, jealousies, and successes, and we are personally strengthened by their journey.



"The journey is real, more so when you
can relate to someone else's journey."
