Art as a Practice of Remembering
My visual art practice explores memory, identity, and belonging through drawing, textiles, installation, and storytelling. Working across disciplines, I create immersive environments and objects that invite audiences to reflect on the stories we carry, the places we come from, and the communities that shape us.
Much like my choreographic work, my visual art is rooted in Weaving—an interdisciplinary methodology that combines movement, drawing, writing, and cultural research to investigate how personal and collective histories become woven into our identities. My installations often incorporate archival materials, oral histories, textiles, and participatory elements, creating spaces where audiences can engage with themes of memory, migration, and cultural connection.

Selected Work
Woven Between Worlds (2026)
An immersive thesis exhibition presented at Duke University, Woven Between Worlds explored the experiences of immigrants, adoptees, and individuals navigating multiple identities and cultures.
The exhibition featured:
• A nine-foot handwoven textile installation
• Archival family photographs and personal artifacts
• More than 100 oral histories from adoptees and first-generation immigrants
• Ethnographic research with Maya textile weavers in Guatemala
• Interactive spaces for reflection and storytelling
The exhibition invited audiences to consider what it means to belong, remember, and continually weave together different parts of ourselves.
Mermaid in the Stars (2026)
Illustrator, Mermaid in the Stars by Jingqiu Guan.
This beautifully imagined children's book follows a young girl's journey of wonder, imagination, and discovery. Through hand-drawn illustrations, I sought to create a visual world that celebrates curiosity, connection, and the transformative power of storytelling.
The project reflects my ongoing interest in visual narratives and the ways images can create spaces of belonging and possibility for young readers.
Digital Drip: Art Basel Miami (2022)
As co-founder of Digital Drip, I curated and presented visual artwork as part of a satellite event during Art Basel Miami, bringing together artists, entrepreneurs, and cultural leaders working at the intersection of art, technology, and community.
The event showcased emerging artists and innovative creative practices while raising nearly $30,000 to support emerging creatives and foster cross-disciplinary collaboration. My visual work presented during the event explored themes of identity, memory, and interconnectedness, reflecting my broader interdisciplinary practice.
