In my work, I strive to express personal emotions and explore complex social issues, especially those related to cultural identity and emotional expression within Asian societies. I believe art should engage the senses — it can be edible, readable, or touchable. For example, in a recent piece, I invited participants to share food using a spoon as both a tool and a symbol of connection. I often create social spaces where audiences are not just viewers but participants eating, dreaming, reading, and sharing.
My artistic practice explores themes like language, social dynamics, religion, identity, and history. I work with everyday objects and familiar spaces, combining them with symbolic or historical elements that I often research deeply. These materials get transformed and mixed together to create new meanings, which I use to build narratives, interactive installations, and performances. The main goal of my work is to use art as a way to create social change. I want to challenge stereotypes, bring attention to overlooked issues, and open up space for conversation. Different societies deal with different kinds of problems, and I think art can help people notice those differences while still finding connection. I hope my work can help people feel seen, understood, and invited to reflect both on their own and with others.
