Beijing Memo/ 北京街头 ( Ongoing Project / 进行中)

This project started from the summer of 2016. As the progression of gentrification and street cleansing policy tightens , these moments might disappear soon. 

从2016年开始拍摄,随着北京逐渐士化和街头整顿以及经济发展,这些街头可能会在某一瞬间消失。

As He Lay Dying / 弥留之际

The Project started in the summer of 2017, 6 months prior to my  grandpa(mother’s side)'s death .  He had mulpitle critical health condition , our family acknoledged the fact of his decay, so we made those picture for memory's sake. 

The memorial is to pay respect and memberence on the third year of his passing. The ritual is to first  bring his spirit home, then family members eat together, pay their respect and walk his spirit back to his grave.

At last, we burn the plastic gifts so he can recieved it in heaven 

项目始于2019年,于姥爷去世的前半年。 他已身患数疾,我们都知道他时日无多,便拍摄照片作为纪念

仪式为祭日三年之期的祭奠, 亲戚们来悼念,一起从墓地起灵, 回家吃饭,祭拜,后一起送灵。

最后把所有的礼物燃烧殆尽,送到他所在之地

Forgotten Dream of Beijing / 北京遗梦

Forgotten Dream of Beijing it's the embodiment of my belongingnessof Beijing.

I was Born in Beijing , went to boarding school since I was little. The High school in vancouver and university in New York, noneof these
places gave me a sense of home . But after a gap year staying in Beijing during Covid, I have felt some belongingness . Forgotten Dream it's a two part projecct , the first half it's about the fading memory of my summer crush in Beijing after I returned to New York.

The second half it's about how asian parents likes to use cut fruit as expression of love rather than using words. I prepared some fresh fruits for my audiences , hoping they would feel the warmth while viewing the work.

北京遗梦是我对于北京的归属感具象化的产物。 我在北京长大, 从小就开s始寄宿,到高中出国温哥华,大学出国纽约, 这些地方都没带给我归属感。

但是疫情这一年gap year在国内让我有机会找到了一些“家”的感觉。 北京
遗梦是由两部分组成,  一部分是回到纽约后对于在北京时约会对象的记忆
逐渐模糊,另一部分是对于亚洲家庭会用切好的水果来含蓄表达爱的温暖。

我也为观众准备好了水果,希望他们也可以 坐下来边看作品便感受一些
温暖吧。

Sentimental Wave/ 绪浪

Sentimental Wave explores the subjective experience of memory and time. In this body of work, I delve into my sensations of deja vu. I've been having emotions that resurfaced in my consciousness: from feelings of loneliness and melancholy to joy and tranquility.

They come to me like waves, and I spontaneously create an image based on deja vus. I made those fragments of my past into an accordion book, with writings on the back of every image in chronological order. The writings are the description of the memories and the images are visual responses to that memory. Through the process of making this book, I have created a new past that exists parallel to my actual past.

《绪浪》是一本手工自制的手风琴折页书, 是我大学最后一年期间的作品。 这段时间总是有些情绪在意识中闪现,每次情绪涌出时制作一张照片。 照片的内容总是和触发这个情绪的回忆不完全相同,却有相似之处。 将所有的照片整理到一起,照片在正面,文字在背面,这些片段一起构成成一本平行于真实过去的回忆录。
