Human beings act on nature in order to keep their lives.
From their activities, several streams are generated and landscapes are transformed.
I focus on the beauty of transformation created through the relation between human activities and nature, and want to express the beauty as a kind of visual ballet.
Experimental
The Entangled Forest
The Entangled Forest is a film which explores the multifaceted interrelationships between trees and fungi within forest ecologies. Featuring the voice of ecologist Suzanne Simard, and her ground-breaking research into tree and fungi communities, the documentary reflects on the ‘biological neural network’ of forest ecosystems, and how the reciprocal, shared behaviour of mycelium and trees creates a resilient and healthy community of co-dependent species.
And her sleeve wet with tears
Oppression is the first barrier between a woman and her personal desires and meanwhile, “the voice” speaks of suppression. The voice of boredom by which the wetness of their eyes and sleeves can be perceived.

Would You Like to Tell Me a Story?
As China abruptly lifts its "zero-COVID" policies, leaving many grappling with the sudden change, we look back at our personal stories during the still-recent lockdown in Shanghai, which lasted for two full months over the spring of 2022. Through sharing the unique experiences about food, pain, and even parenthood, we found in each other not only healing and support, but also a fresh understanding of what lies ahead of us.
Symphonic Distress
The music came first. Asked to provide a visual component, I was struck by its beauty from the very first listen. Although the music and the film are in themselves apolitical, the urgent impulse to express ourselves through art has been exacerbated by the outbreak of the Russo-Ukrainian conflict. The intention, while avoiding any direct reference to war, is to tacitly evoke certain universal emotions born out of its consequences: fear, suffering, outrage, vulnerability, abnegation, hope.
