My senior uncle (my dad's oldest brother) just passed away. He was the last person in my family who farmed the land that was passed down to us. In a few days my family in Tainan, Taiwan will send him - his spirit - away. He was actually the person who revealed the sort-of family secret that we are Siraya. And that revelation has been VERY important to me. So I drew my 7-month-old baby here in front of the Siraya goddess - Alid (inside the clay pot is clean water in which rests the spirit of Alid) - as my send-off gift to my uncle.
