I am a visual artist based in Vancouver. The majority of my work can be described as photo-based conceptualism with a focus on the everyday and the mundane, this is often explored through the lens of a second generation immigrant. Since receiving my BFA from University of British Columbia in 2016, I have had the chance to work with local artist Evan Lee on a public art project in Richmond that dealt with the theme of migration. This project manifested itself as Ma Fan Cafe | 茶煲咖啡; a four panel installation that borrows the aesthetics of the menus seen in Hong Kong style cafes and seeks to bring attention to the importance of cultural cohabitation and the growing chasm between the English-speaking and the Chinese-speaking communities within Richmond.
In my recent photo-based projects I have been exploring color, light and shadow within the context of Vancouver as a city. This is a constantly evolving project that takes on multiple themes often confronting empty or abandoned urban spaces spread across the city.
