I am a Chinese queer artist-curator based in London.
My work centres on matrilineal imagination, emotional healing, and queer embodiment, through ecological and mythological frameworks. Rooted in lived experiences of migration and bodily dissonance, I navigate personal and collective memory by constructing visual and sensory rituals that connect the body with landscape.
I work fluidly across media including performance art, painting, photography, installation, and so on. I don’t like to attached to one medium.
