I carved round circles on the pages of a Chinese dictionary that I owned since elementary school. Starting from the page of Yu 玉 (jade) to Yin陰 (vagina), a tunnel between the two words.

Islands of Ambivalence, 2025
silk, cotton, fabric, 96" 66" 2"
Islands of Ambivalence is a work that reimagines the symbolic meaning of wedding dowries and women’s histories during the Cold War. By collaging and stitching together archival materials—including protest posters, bureaucratic photographs, magazine articles, and Mutual Defense Treaty documents—the tapestry visualizes and connects the ambivalent sentiments of many Asian countries toward the presence of U.S. military bases. Through the interweaving of these materials, the work reflects on the gendered power dynamics embedded within this history.

Herstory, 2025
antique fabric, frame, 23.5" 17.5" 4"
Herstory is a work that reimagines the iconic flour sack underwear during the U.S Aid era in Taiwan, transforming the material into a women’s bra to unveil a hidden narrative of gendered labor. While official histories highlight infrastructure and military support, this piece confronts the overlooked boom in sex tourism and bar industry tied to the US military’s Rest and Recreation program （1965-1972）during the Vietnam War.
