In the past few years of my creative journey, my work reflects my life. In each life stage, I contemplated the relationship between the other and me, reflecting the relationship between environment and me, reflecting the relationship between other and environment. In each stage, creating is like driftwood, creating breathing space, and it allowed me to clarify the understanding of life.

A project rooted in family heritage, personal history, and the tension between cultural identity and displacement. Through interviews with family members, the work traces how habit, desire, and philosophy are shaped by an immigrant background — and by literature passed down through generations.

Using SketchUp for structural modelling before translating forms into pattern, the process itself became a way of inheriting — drawing on a skill set learned from my father to ask how an immigrant can be part of a new environment while holding onto who they already are.
