captures various symptoms of displacement, nostalgia and ghostly images in hyper-connected era. Drawing on the background of growing up in a rapidly developed country, her practice traces the sense of transition, cultural translation and media appropriation, investigating how images shape cultural imagination and identity. Positioned between reality and illusion, she weaves these elements into possible scenarios, situating everyday perception within broader negotiations of connection, diaspora, power, desire, and memory.
