The works primarily involve performance, video, site-specific art, and experimental theater. Centered on identity, the creations explore intergenerational trauma within families through personal experiences, seeking transformative pathways amidst structural imbalances between the individual and collective, and the absence of identity discourse and relational connections. It examines the complex interplay of gender, identity, and family within East Asian cultural contexts, focusing on how individuals navigate equilibrium within collective cultural frameworks amid globalization and rapid contemporary shifts. Simultaneously, it employs personal narratives to engage with women’s issues and the social existence of marginalized groups, translating embodied action into tangible creative practice.
