I am a photographer and storyteller based in Chicago, originally from China, now exploring the liminal space of identity as part of the Asian diaspora in the United States. My practice is deeply feelings-based, a visual meditation on sensitivity and fragility—those quiet, unspoken oppressions rooted in cultural modesty and restraint. My work seeks to navigate the psychological terrain of memory, perception, and emotion, lingering at the threshold between consciousness and the subconscious

Through photography, I investigate the tension between image and text—how they intersect, diverge, and echo one another in representing memory and feeling. My process is intuitive, driven by a desire to map the intangible: the way images crystallize fleeting sensations or dissolve into fragments of what was once felt but not yet articulated

Now in my third year in the United States, I find myself immersed in a personal journey—exploring spiritual practices, embracing my sexual orientation, and engaging with the transformative acts of self-love and care. I expect these threads to continue to weave into my art and it would always be evolving
