In exploring the fluidity of existence and identity, my work challenges the boundaries of materiality and perception while exploring the physical and emotional aspects of the human experience.
My experiences from both China and the U.S. enrich my perspective, allowing me to dissect and challenge the rigid gender binaries with a nuanced understanding of identity's cultural subtleties. Through photography, video, installations, and performances, I create spaces where the nuances of gender and identity can be contemplated, questioned, and understood. I produce metaphorical actions through using the unexpected manipulation of everyday objects, working with physical materials and engaging with their symbolic and metaphorical potential. Each piece serves as a metaphor, a familiar object recontextualized to challenge the rigid binaries of gender or a performative act that metaphorically breaks through societal expectations.
