This work addresses the issue of family as the starting point in discussing about diversity and unity at the same time. The Family Service America (1984) defined family as two or more people who are bound by togetherness and intimacy bonds, and then define themselves as a part of the family. Such a definition of family is broad, which could be implied to various kinds of formal relationships beside the traditional definitions. It reminded me of one verse from the Bible: Matthew 19:6 “So they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let no one separate.” From that definition, an individual is spiritually being united with another individual. And in this work, I am attempting to read the concepts of uniting, not only spiritually, but also physically, socially, and culturally, which are part of the individual’s background. Each individual in a family takes their own roles in collaborating and negotiating by compiling their bodies into one solid body.
