Tree! Tree! Tree!                              

A 12-meter, tree-ring-folded artist’s book paired with twigs-and-plaster balance sculptures. Developed through walking, studies of the mutual loading of twigs, and feedback into drawing, it presents images in flexible deformation, addressing migration and rootlessness while inviting a sense of balance and symbiosis.

We will ask: 
‘What does all of this mean?'          

An experimental film seeking meaning between absurdity and instinct. Beginning with a moment of “daydreaming against the wall,” it captures the drift and return of consciousness and invites you to ask again in the cracks of reality: What does it all mean?

An Anonymous Gift                            

Through an absurd fable, the work imagines a world of unequal power relations, uses metaphor to portray real-world power and oppression, reflects the predicaments faced by young people entering society, and invites viewers to consider structural problems that are hard to eradicate.

How to Cook Your Lover                  

An artist’s book integrating a series of illustrations and installations, inspired by my reflections on love, exploring the parallels between appetite and erotic desire.
