Works

I approach artistic creation as a form of attention — a way of perceiving the world through the dialogue between craft, language, time, and nature. Trained in both design and technology, I transform neon — once a commercial medium — into a living, temporal language that reveals invisible systems shaping perception.

My practice reinterprets the hand-bent glass tube as a calligraphic gesture unfolding in time: a rhythm of breath, heat, gravity, and duration. Drawing from Chinese calligraphy, I work within the philosophy of “seeking perfection within imperfection“, where control and accident coexist, and vulnerability becomes a condition for meaning. Neon’s unforgiving precision sustains the light; imperfection preserves the humanity of the gesture.

My current research draws on the neuroscience of language learning, particularly how different writing systems shape perception over time. Language is not acquired instantaneously, but through repetition, rhythm, and embodied memory. Reflecting this process, my work increasingly takes the form of time-based installations and sculptures. Light appears, fades, pulses, or shifts gradually, making visible the otherwise invisible processes of making, learning, and remembering. The evolution of the installation over time becomes integral to the work itself: the artwork does not represent time — it completes itself through it.

By allowing the work to change, hesitate, or unfold, I render process perceptible. The gestures, decisions, and constraints of making are embedded in the temporal behaviour of light, echoing how meaning forms through accumulation rather than immediacy. Rooted in Hong Kong and expanded in Paris, my practice bridges East and West, tradition and reinvention, exploring how language, perception, and ethics evolve as living processes shaped by attention, duration, and care.

• Series – Invisible Natural Forces
  A series exploring the unseen systems that shape human and environmental experience: air currents, water movement, electricity, underground energy and fire. Through suspended neon, responsive light, and spatial installations such as “Haiijaii“, “Light as Air” and “Courants“, these works make invisible phenomena perceptible. Inspired by both natural processes and urban infrastructures, the collection reflects on humanity’s relationship with the forces that sustain, disturb, and transform the world around us.

• Series – Language, Gesture + Trace
  This series investigates neon as a form of writing. Rooted in Chinese calligraphy, the works translate gesture, rhythm, and bodily movement into glass and light. The tension between the fluid spontaneity of ink and the technical precision required in neon fabrication forms the conceptual core of the series. Through bends, imperfections, repetitions, and repairs, each work preserves traces of the body’s negotiation with material, revealing making itself as a language.

• Series – Bodies + Identities
  Focusing on embodiment, identity, and perception, this collection considers how bodies occupy, perform within, and are shaped by social and cultural spaces. Neon becomes both outline and presence: fragile yet assertive, intimate yet public.
  Works like “Every Body Is A Beach Body” often engage with humour, vulnerability, and participation, inviting viewers to reflect on visibility, representation, and the emotional relationship between the body and its environment.

• Series – Material Memory
  A collection centered on cultural memory and material dialogue. Combining neon with porcelain, wood, and historical references, these works explore how objects carry histories across time and geography. Influenced by migration, craft traditions, trade histories, and disappearing urban landscapes, the collection examines how materials themselves become vessels of memory, transformation, and continuity.

Across these series, my practice is both immersive and participatory: inviting audiences not only to witness but also to reflect on how light, culture, and environment intersect. In doing so, my work asks: how can a precious craft from the last century illuminate the most urgent questions of our time?
