across forms.

I work across film, generative media and interactive systems, exploring how people enter stories through images, spaces and actions.

从电影出发,让故事进入空间与互动。

MATERIAL / IMAGE / SPACE

A sketch can become

Hand-drawn details, miniature furniture, light and reused devices form a vocabulary that crosses the boundary between image and object.
