Originally from Taiwan and now living and working in the UK, my practice explores how cultural, social, and infrastructural systems shape human behavior, perception, and movement. My research particularly focuses on geopolitics, public space, and everyday rules that influence our sense of control over our surroundings, and how these forces are negotiated through ordinary actions.


Working primarily through site-specific installations, my practice unfolds through participation, collaboration, and improvisation. Rather than producing fixed outcomes, I generate research through collective encounter and embodied experience, allowing different perceptions, rhythms, and intentions to co-exist. Viewers are often invited to step beyond familiar modes of looking and into playful, interconnected ways of being that extend beyond traditional gallery spaces.








The relationship between body and space, architecture and movement, and instruction and performative action is central to my methodology. I frequently work with simple rule-based systems - responsive structures, guided movements, or sets of instructions that can be followed, ignored, or misread. Through these systems, participants activate the work and reveal how rules operate both as generative tools and as constraints.



Across my practice, playfulness, abstraction, patterns, and vibrant color serve as strategies to engage the senses and to explore how environments shape us, and how our understanding with our bodies shape them beyond the limits of language.



I am drawn to rules embedded in customs, games, and rituals that appear neutral yet quietly organize power and bodily conduct. Through ambiguity, play, and movement, my work seeks not to break these structures, but to circle them until new possibilities begin to emerge.
