I work between cultures, materials, and ways of making.

I'm an artist and woodworker. I make furniture, objects, and installations—mostly out of wood—to think about culture, migration, and the kinds of work and care that hold people together.

I keep returning to wood because it remembers. You can read a tree's years in its grain, and you can feel a maker's hand in a carved or worn surface. That memory is what I'm working with.

My pieces grow out of Chinese visual traditions and craft, but I don't want to keep those traditions behind glass. I bring them up against contemporary tools—CNC milling, laser cutting, digital fabrication—and pay attention to what happens in between: what survives the translation, what shifts, and what becomes something new.

I'm drawn to everyday rituals—sharing a meal, sitting in a chair, kneeling before a mountain, gathering around a table. They seem ordinary, but they hold a lot: family, labor, belonging, and our relationship to history and place.

In the end, I want the things I make to leave a little room to reflect—objects that feel intimate up close, but that also carry something larger about where we come from and who we are.
