I am a queer Chinese cultural worker and multidisciplinary artist from Las Vegas, pondering ways to return home to the soul through making art in various mediums. I create artwork in community with sentimental items to regenerate the objects with new life. The way I make my garments, performances, and community initiatives is to intentionally connect with my yearning for closeness and embodied rage in a world that is ever changing and often horrific. I attempt to counter the latter through imagining radically queer and delicious futures, slowness, and “Interbeing,” a Plum Village philosophical concept rooted in ethical living, mindfulness, and compassionate action. That’s why collaboration is deeply instilled in my practice. I allow for conversations and mutual storytelling to be infused into my work, oftentimes changing and growing with the people, spaces, and nature that interact with it.

In my spare time, I co-organize TWYN: Take What You Need Art Supplies, an art supplies mutual aid effort pollinating across Las Vegas. @twyn.artsupply. I am also part of Tejido, an Indigenous-led monthly mending and fiber skill-share pop-up bringing together artisans and craftspeople interested in building local solidarity through textiles. @tejidolv
