Statement

Coming from a Clinical Psychology background, I tend to utilize psychology skills in my works, to engage with people in a mild and gentle way. Through the art-making process, I found out that I enjoy telling a story in another story which you may see a lot of metaphors in my works that drop hints to the audiences and motivate people to think about the subjects. Different from one-way declarations, I like to create performances that include interactive scenes and moments to invite audiences to have conversations. I want to bring people together, to think, and to understand each other.
