Statement
Through a nomadic practice rooted in personal and collective experiences of migration, I am developing a posthuman and hybrid worldview that rethinks environmental change, migration, and cultural transformation. Working across painting, participatory projects, and game-based structures, I treat humans, non-humans, ecological systems, and cultural symbols as co-agents in meaning-making.
My practice began with investigations of personal migration experiences and family history, gradually expanding to explore collective experiences across diverse migrant communities—from Taiwanese diaspora to pan-Asian groups and refugees. A critical shift occurred in 2024 when I developed a speculative framework that positions all humans as potential migrants, dismantling the perception of migration as "others' problem." Inspired by Dutch dune ecosystems, I now integrate ecological fieldwork in the Netherlands and Taiwan with participatory knowledge gathered through board games and workshops.
Drawing from Asian and Western painting traditions, I create hybrid iconographies where cultural symbols, ecological observations, and speculative imagination intersect. My paintings function as sites where multiple forms of knowledge, human stories, ecological data, and mythological narratives intertwine. Through this approach, I aim to create spaces where alternative worldviews can be explored and rehearsed, while envisioning forms of coexistence.
