beyond control, 2023
︎ Interactive installation | Sensory art experience
'beyond control' is an interactive experience that emerges from my nightly ritual of taking a birth control pill at 9:30 PM. This routine has transformed the pill package into a calendar marking time's passage. Each pill in the package represents a day, gradually becomes more empty, turning the pill into a symbol of the day's end and a touchable reminder that time keeps ticking on.

send return, 2023
︎ Solo Exhibition | Sound installation experience | Performance
'send return' is a solo exhibition about blurring boundaries, navigating softness and negotiating fear. The work includes a large metal floor installation, two digital paintings, and a sound work. The gallery floor is covered in vinyl white to play off the large white wall. In this work, I explore the intricacies of the inner self, constant fears about the dangerousness of sharp metal objects, and the obsession with their glamorous and seductive textures. Emotions and conflicts between those feelings expand into visual and auditory experiences.

concentrate, 2022
︎ Interactive sound installation
'concentrate' is a distinctive sound installation piece that delves into the concept of "imaginary space sound." This project is a reversal of my usual creative process, where the music I am drawn to typically shapes my art. In 'concentrate,' I aim to craft a sound piece that embodies the essence of the spaces and fields depicted in my paintings, imagining how these artistic realms would resonate if they existed in the natural world.

moon hits the mirrorball, 2022
︎ Sound installation & sculpture
This project is a multifaceted exploration of my journey with Techno music, blending sound with a series of unique sculptures. The sculptures, composed of materials like stainless steel, balloons, nails, epoxy resin, wire, metal chains, plastic wire cables, candles, and glass, pair with the sound to capture the contrasting nature of my experiences - the fragility of personal emotions against the robust, industrial backdrop of Techno.

overflow, 2022
︎ Interactive art installation
‘overflow’ is a physical heart-shaped balloon project. This air-filled balloon is covered in resin layers, and nails were strewn across its fragile surface. Viewers were invited to use flashlights to view this piece. The piece itself is transparent but when seen with a flashlight, its shadows create large contrasting reflections of the transparent balloon that brings more awareness to itself.
