包华舍的一部主要专著《我的祖父变成了一只老虎……以及其他幻觉》探讨了家和归属感的基本概念:幻觉、欲望和失去。包华的作品从无数来源获得灵感:杜撰的家庭传说;艺术家群体与自我的肖像;以及重新构想的景观，明尼苏达州和北加州代表老挝。引人注目的和个人的叙述是基于传统和当代隐喻的苗族散居社区。我的祖父变成了一只老虎汇集了艺术家的四个主要系列，其中包括重新想象她的家庭离开老挝之前的历史的标题作品。其他作品涉及少数族裔社区的丑闻，其中数百名老人被骗，这是一个围绕新家园承诺的欺诈性投资计划的一部分。在另一个系列中，她母亲收集的色调丰富的黑白绢花静物与花卉图片一起呈现，这些花卉图片装饰着苗族照相馆和约会应用中使用的数字处理过的超彩色流行背景。这本设计精美的专著展示了她对赝品和真品之间界限的敏锐眼光;正如这位艺术家所说，“如果你想让摄影成为真理，它就是真理”。我的祖父变成了一只老虎，这是“下一步奖”(Next Step Award)的成果，该奖项由Aperture和纽约相机俱乐部(Camera Club)的Baxter St与7|G Foundation合作举办。每个封面都是奇特的，有多达32个夹克迭代，但在正面和背面都有相同的贴纸。

Pao Houa Her's first major monograph, My grandfather turned into a tiger … and other illusions, explores the fundamental concepts of home and belonging: illusion, desire, and loss. Pao Houa Her's work draws inspiration from a myriad of sources: apocryphal family lore; portraits of the artist's community and self; and reimagined landscapes, with Minnesota and Northern California standing in for Laos. The compelling and personal narratives are grounded in the traditions and contemporary metaphors of the Hmong diasporic community. My grandfather turned into a tiger brings together four of the artist's major series, including the title work which reimagines her family's history before leaving Laos. Other work deals with a scandal within the Hmong community in which hundreds of elders were swindled as part of a fraudulent investment scheme built around the promise of a new Hmong homeland. In another series, tonally rich black-and-white still lifes of silk flowers collected by her mother are presented alongside images of flowers that adorn the digitally manipulated, hyper-colored popular backdrops used in Hmong photo studios and on dating apps. This beautifully designed monograph showcases Her’s keen eye on the line between ersatz and authenticity; as the artist has stated, photography is “a truth if you want it to be a truth.” My grandfather turned into a tiger is the result of the Next Step Award, a partnership between Aperture and Baxter St at the Camera Club of New York, in collaboration with the 7|G Foundation. Each cover is unique, featuring up to thirty-two jacket iterations, but is anchored by the same sticker on the front and back.
