This Swirling Mass of Atoms. Book, video. Personal Project, 15 Jan, 2021.
This Swirling Mass of Atoms contains 112 pages of images and their metadata, unfolding the relationship between phone photography and human memories, the perception and interpretation of an image, and the boundary of individuality in a public space. The performance of stacking photos indicates the futility of an endeavour, and the burden of an onslaught of information. As a whole, this project provides a perspective for people to be aware of phone photography as a medium, and what affect it has on human affairs. Browsing digitally.

Has Man a Future?. Personal Project, 16 Jan, 2020.
Workshop Quale, Song with Paul Elliman. Some photos took in my hometown and in Beijing are printed and folded to the cranes. The lyrics are written on them. The crane is a medium of hope — an ancient Japanese legend promises that anyone who folds a thousand origami cranes will be granted a wish by the gods. Has man a future? I don't know but I hope so.

A Line Which Forms a Volume 4. Publication. 10 Apr, 2021.
Publication design for MA GMD 19/20, LCC, UAL. Walking around the topic of decolonisation in design, ALWFAV 4 takes the colour green as a metaphor of ‘access’, which alludes to an unrestricted and flexible imagination of what the boundary of design could be and how we can make these borders accessible. The fourth issue applies the concept of dotted lines as its key visual element and metaphorical figure to interact with the contents within the publication. These dotted lines correspond to the form of borders on the map, imagining the publication space as an embodied territory resisting the design canon. Collaborative project.
