Californians is a series of photographs and performance piece documenting the people of northern California. After the presidential election of 2016, Ruilin returned back to the bay area in 2017 contesting her own Californian identity as the life growing up in the silicon valley wasn't the ultimate reality she has believed. She sets out on a journey with Maggie to four northern counties with majority of the population voting for Trump during the election. These images captured the complex identities of the locals and the current political landscape as Ruilin comes together with her neighbors to expand the definition of a Californian.
Every set of images started with a conversation of “what makes you a Californian?”
