The work examines how power forcibly reshapes individual will through a stark material act: a wooden form, marked with wave-like traces of continuous life, is abruptly pierced and broken by a metal arrow. Anchored by a fish-shaped bronze coin historically reserved for royal burials in ancient China, the piece transforms authority into literal weight, capturing the moment of penetration.

Informed by Georges Bataille’s The Tears of Eros, this bronze sculpture examines the ontological rupture where intimacy intersects with violence. Composed of two weeping countenances, the work captures the threshold of "sovereign" emotion—the precise moment when the individual dissolves into the excess of feeling, and all boundaries cease to exist.

In this work, I conduct deep research on the power structure in Chinese families, the complexity of which triggers my deconstruction and analysis of my personal emotional experience. The work aims to reveal that fathers often ignore emotional expression in their pursuit of traditional patriarchal status, which has a profound impact on women's body and mind.
I particularly focus on the issues of domestic violence and emotional indifference. I use soil as a metaphor to symbolize the female body and emotions, and through it I seek connections with past emotions. The scorch marks left on the soil by the high-temperature fire become a carrier to express pain, precocity, and anxiety.
I invite the audience to feel the deeper context conveyed by these scorch marks while viewing the work, evoking reflections on the complex power dynamics within the family and resonance with the invisible pressure that women bear within it.

The Heart is a socially critical art project, inspired by sewers—an often overlooked but vital component of urban life. Victor Hugo once described sewers as “the conscience of the city.” Due to historical reasons, China’s sewer system lacks integrity, and its rectification faces significant challenges and requires substantial resource investment. Through the metaphor of sewers and grease, I intend to reveal the neglected filth and darkness within the city.
The sculpture consists of an alien form and frozen grease. The sewer, as a source of inspiration, represents the neglected foundation of the city, while the grease symbolizes accumulated dirt and hidden secrets. In the work, the frozen grease slowly melts, gradually revealing the sewer waste embedded within it. This process functions as a direct exposure of the city’s concealed problems, echoing the work’s exploration of the dark side of society and its underlying issues.
The experimental video revolves around the “Whitechapel Grease Mountain” and explores the hidden corners of the sewer system. Through visual language, the video reveals the complex ecology and unknown narratives within the city’s underground, further expanding the viewer’s understanding and reflection on the “conscience of the city.”

YU DANG is a series of fabric installations completed in a rural village in collaboration with empty nesters. I printed images taken in the village onto fabric and, with the help of different elderly participants, created four installations that represent their identities.
“Yu Dang” is the Chinese name of the village, while its English translation also carries the meaning of lingering and drifting. Through this body of work, I attempt to offer a sense of companionship to the elderly that is often missing in their daily lives, while also drawing public attention to the issue of empty nesters.
