:: bio ::

Born and raised in Hong Kong, China, I moved to the United States to study at the age of 17. Inspired by both Eastern and Western cultures, my work focuses on childhood memories, jokes, language misunderstandings, human behavior, social commentary, gender and sexuality along with my own experience, understanding and questions. I also have an innate curiosity for and an inclination toward fantasy.

With different subject matters that I am exploring, I hope to intensify the audience’s curiosity and invite them to stop and question even the most basic things in life that we tend to overlook in this fast-paced world.

I currently live and work in Los Angeles, California.
