About Me
I work with lens-related media. The core of my work examines the human condition through the exploration, inquiry, and deconstruction of visual and photographic codes, as well as notions such as memory, identity, history, body knowledge, eroticism and/or sexuality.
I also write on images and theory (in Chinese, English, and French). Intrigued by photography’s power to seduce and its inability to think for itself, engaging with images and provoking unusual connections are what make my pulse quicken.
