‘Teacher’s Favourite’ is a portrait of my brother, Kaidi. When teachers saw him, they would comment, “He is sitting so still”, “What a great model”, “So impressive”. It became a recurring theme. Overall, I wanted the look of a calm school photo, which reinforces the meaning of the ‘teacher’s favourite’.
