Born in 2006 in Beijing. Currently based in New York, studying Fine Arts at Parsons School of Design.
My practice centers on video/photography and installation because these mediums give me the freedom to construct environments rather than just images. They allow me to move beyond the limits of a single frame and create situations where viewers can feel the tensions I’m trying to examine. Much of my work responds to the ways digital technology like phones, social media, and networked screens has shaped my generation. I think often about the pandemic, not only as a global event but as something that quietly rewired habits, attention, relationships, and even the way people my age are perceived. A virus ended up influencing us far more deeply than the illness itself, and my work asks why.
Visually, my projects frequently incorporate screens, interface-like imagery, and the aesthetics of digital systems. I draw from theorists such as Benjamin, Fraser, Bourdieu, and Mulvey, as well as my own lived experiences with technology and its psychological effects. Learning tools like TouchDesigner opened new possibilities for building digital spaces that echo contemporary forms of overstimulation, repetition, and mediated perception.
I make art to prompt reflection, small moments where viewers reconsider things they usually accept without question. In the future, I hope to expand toward public and interactive work, creating installations that make people aware of how deeply technology shapes not only how we see, but who we become.
