- Book Synopsis
- The Red Strings Between explores the East Asian mythological belief of human connection through red string. Extending from our blood vessels through the unseen world, these strings are said to bind together people whose lives are destined to intertwine. While folklore speaks of enduring bonds that may tangle but never break, this work delves further, questioning the threads that have evolved beyond intersection. Is this where grief lies? A meditation on connection, displacement and loss, Rachael Li Ming Chong celebrates the arterial bonds we forge with one another, and contemplates the threads whose narratives swell solely in their endings.
