My performance art revolves around the theme of “returning to the self,” exploring how individuals navigate belonging through flux, fragmentation, and reconstruction in the tide of globalization. Through bodily intervention and the transformation of materials—decay and regeneration—I reveal the transient nature of identity, space, and memory, seeking the possibility of growth within rupture and impermanence.

In Weeds, I use ink and pigment in acts of tearing, smearing, destruction, and reconstruction to metaphorize the struggles of cultural nomads. The fibers emerging from torn rice paper, the residual scratches on walls, and the diffusion and disappearance of ink trace the fragility of the immigrant experience while hinting at the possibility of transient empowerment；In Compendium of Materia Medica, I mold herbal remnants into bricks, engrave them into tablets, and conduct a cremation ritual to bid farewell to these once-healing substances. The flames consume their forms, reducing them to carbon and dust, returning them to the earth and the cycle of existence. This is both a contemplation of life’s essence and a requiem for the fleeting presence of all things；In Union of Water and Fish, I integrate performance art with traditional ink painting, using pigment as a disruptive physical intervention to break the integrity of the image—an allegory of the transience of desire and the fluidity of memory. As viewers participate in the process, they become “secondary deconstructors,” echoing the uncontrollable nature of passion and the ephemeral quality of remembrance.

My work oscillates between destruction and reconstruction, forgetting and inscription, transience and permanence—witnessing the self’s formation within a world in flux.
