Her and her ten-year-old Chinese-speaking daughter traveled in Taiwan in 2011, primarily visiting indigenous villages, where she made 888 watercolors of the people she met. Zlamany persuade strangers to have their portraits done and then to sign the portrait and have their photograph taken with it.
