About
I am a Chinese artist currently living and
studying in London.My practice explores
the subtle tensions and delicate equilibriums between natural elements and
urban constructions. I am drawn to the relationships between materials such as
stones, water, and wind, and human-made structures like scaffolding, screws, and
fences—not to the objects themselves, but to the gaps and transitional spaces
that arise between them. These spaces, which I refer to as “whispering gaps,”
are neither full nor empty; they are sites where light drifts, gravity
hesitates, and time momentarily pauses. They embody a faint but persistent
sense of "nothingness" that remains palpable within the texture of
the everyday.
My creative process is rooted in the psychogeographical method of
dérive—drifting without destination through urban and natural landscapes. This
wandering allows me to collect fragments that have been severed from their
prescribed functions: remnants of construction sites, plants sprouting through
concrete, forgotten scaffolding parts. By reassembling these materials, I seek
to reveal the hidden dialogues between structure and void, mass and suspension.
In my sculptural works, a gap is not simply a negative space; it is a
phenomenological projection, a physical manifestation of forces such as wind,
gravity, and material tension. I often amplify these gaps, making them the very
framework of the work—thus creating structures that are simultaneously skeletal
and present, tangible and evaporating.
Materials like enamel, ceramic, rice
paper, and silk thread—chosen for their capacity to catch, refract, or soften
light—play a crucial role. Environmental forces such as wind and subtle shifts
in weight further animate the work, introducing a soft, meditative movement. In
a world increasingly dominated by speed, efficiency, and disconnection, my work
embraces slowness, wandering, and the practice of "doing nothing" as
forms of quiet resistance.
Through ephemeral sculptural installations and
drawing-based mappings, I invite viewers to experience a moment of pause—to sense
how built environments and natural forces coalesce, dissolve, and mirror our
own shifting perceptions of existence.
