Born and raised in Taipei, Taiwan, I am a mixed-media installation artist with a deep interest in the intangible aspects of life, such as emotions, relationships, and the unseen connections between all things, including nature.
Having lived in both East and West, I draw from diverse cultural perspectives, embracing interconnectedness and individualism. This merge informs my art, encouraging deeper connections within ourselves, with others, and with the environment.
Through self-learning, collaboration, and exploration of reflective and existential concepts, I create works that foster emotional and experiential connections. These works embody an aesthetic harmony, a natural outcome of situating each element in a meaningful relationship with the whole, reflecting the cohesive patterns observed in nature and within ourselves.
I seek to contribute to conversations on empathy, healing, and inner exploration as we navigate the complexities of human existence.

Bachelor of Architecture, Pratt Institute, Brooklyn, NY
Born in Pingtung, Taiwan, and moved to Canada during my upbringing, I’ve always been fascinated by how environments shape experiences and how intangible emotions can be expressed through tangible forms. This curiosity led me to merge spatial awareness with creative expression, translating abstract ideas into physical experiences.
In collaboration with Wan-Yi, I focus on spatial and structural elements to ensure our work provides an experiential anchor. Customization is central to our practice, both as a method and an outcome of understanding what must be expressed. My passion for nature, gardening, and foraging further grounds our work in an organic sensibility, connecting human experience with the natural world’s underlying patterns.
Through our art, we create environments that invite visitors to pause, reflect, and connect with both their inner worlds and the shared human condition.
