An interactive work inspired by Song painting
Framing the Seasons is an interactive installation inspired by Song Dynasty fan paintings.
Audiences use real silk fans embedded with NFC chips to trigger subtle animations projected within a circular frame, echoing the aesthetic logic of cropped flower painting.
Each scene corresponds to a season, and each gesture reveals a painterly fragment.
The work explores how classical Chinese artistic logic can be re-activated through bodily interaction—turning a passive viewer into a participant in sensing, selecting, and framing.

An interactive installation about virtual volume, intimate distance, and social co-presence
(un)occupied is an interactive installation that aims to visualize the invisible volume extending beyond the human physical body.
Every person has a tangible body size, but at the same time, we carry a virtual volume—a fluctuating space shaped by cultural background, social status, intimacy, and emotional state.
This volume is fluid: it expands and contracts depending on who we are with and the context we are in. It is a silent expression of social relations.
There is a kind of spatial state that exists between “occupied” and “available”—an ambiguous superposition that is neither fully taken nor completely empty.
I call it: (un)occupied.

Participatory Classroom Design on Gender and Color Bias
What Can Pink Be? is a classroom-based design intervention that explores how color, especially pink, shapes gender perception and creative freedom.
Conducted at Shizong No. 2 High School in Yunnan, China, the workshop invited students to create artworks using only pink pens and stickers.
By limiting the palette to a color often stereotyped as “feminine,” the project disrupted automatic associations between color, identity, and expression.
There were no drawing instructions—just one rule: use only pink. The constraint created space for reflection, humor, and experimentation.
The resulting works revealed how young people negotiate visual language, cultural expectations, and self-image, even within tight boundaries.
By asking a simple question—What can pink be?—this project demonstrates how design can enter classrooms as a tool for social inquiry, giving form to conversations too often left unspoken.

Participatory Website on Misunderstanding, Randomness, and Infinite Possibilities
Babel Poem is an online participatory work that transforms language misunderstanding into a chain of collective creation. By intentionally blocking participants from reading in their familiar languages, the project invites meaning to slip, mutate, and reform.
The interaction begins with a choice: select your mother tongue, then choose the languages you can read. The system ensures you will receive prompts in languages you cannot fully understand. Your task is simple — continue the story in your own language, based only on partial comprehension or pure guesswork.
No guidelines are given for “accuracy.” Each contribution becomes a new link in a chain of translation, interpretation, and misinterpretation. As the chain grows, so does the distance from the original sentence — yet every version is equally valid, equally part of the poem.
The result is an evolving archive of multilingual fragments — a record of how human communication thrives in gaps and errors, revealing that misunderstanding and randomness are the only inevitabilities in our current universe.
