Please click on our website to see more of our photography.

I come from the IED program with a focus on experimental art, installation art and sound. I worked on the 'INTIMACY' jewellery collection with my companion, Yunfei Mo, from the jewellery program. We were inspired by nature and wanted to build a subtle relationship between man and spirit through a zero-carbon emission, handmade approach.

At the same time, I am an amateur photographer and worked as a photographer during the Across RCA course to capture our group's work.

For my projects, I have focused on socially marginalised groups and mental health during my time at RCA. In terms of the finished product, I prefer to use real-life materials to develop art as opposed to using electronic technology. I don't reject the use of electronics and I don't deny its usefulness, but I love the 'realness' of real materials. At the same time, I don't want my art to be an island, or to be understood only by artists, or people with an artistic background, I like to be part of my audience, and in 2021 until now I am making physical installations for the IVF community and exhibiting them in Shanghai, China, while thinking about my future as a designer. If you are interested in my work, please feel free to contact me.
