Concepts: ATTA (Attā) in Theravada Buddhism is a concept of self that includes physical body and ego that forming self, identity, and personality. In Buddhism, Attā does not exist. This work explores my experience as Thai American. Playing with the words ATTA (American Thai, Thai American) together with using American identity to form the word ATTA as a negative space, I reflect upon what has been faded away and what I have formed during my 10 years in the United States.

Concepts: Knotted mom is derived from the scarf that my mom sent me. It represents love and care from a distance. The love then transform into a gesture of hug and it becomes a platform to hold two sculptures that I made. My relationship with my mom is subtle. We don’t explicit express our love but we innately support each other (like the arms in my sculpture).
I’m now far away from home and her image is becoming vogue. The crashed candy on the top of my sculpture represent sweetness of my relationship with mom. And also makes the whole structure subtle and act as a metaphor for memories covered with dust. Living along in an unfamiliar country, the old relationship is fading away and I now live in a vacuum. I have to build all the attachments on my own now.

Concepts: Pessimism caused by life stress is like an invisible cage which make people cannot break away. It's a weird circle. Although people are trying so hard to running forward, running to the future, eventually we back to the starting point.
I started this event at 12:00 noon one day. Run 100 meters in the hour from 12:00 to 1:00, then 200 meters from 1:00 to 2:00, 300 meters from 2:00 to 3:00, and so do every following hours. The starting line is always the same and the distance per hour is 100 meters more than the previous one. Cameras hung from my chest recording a chest view of my body's movements and the time spent on each run. This hourly run continued until 12:00 at noon of the following day, for a total of 24 runs. Then I captured the last 100 meters of each period of video, which was the new 100 meters distance added to the last time, and edited them together, so that I could complete a 2400 meters run in the video, but it actually came from the repetitive movement that lasted for 24 hours.

Artwork: The Ball Project (2020)
Concepts: This work is divided into three parts: the hand, the head, and the body. It is a process of entering into logic and rules. During the time we are born in society, we are constantly being programmed, and programming allows us to communicate and allows society to function. Yet what wakes us up from the programming is probably the desire to survive when we are first born.

Size: Actual work : approx. 300*360*900cm
Concepts: Almost all my drawings are based on the recognition and pride of my Asian identity. Also conflict between real life and illusional world. Including my point of views on life and death, value and self cognition, losing my self and finding it back. Every drawing is a process of quarreling with myself that I am creating a world without logic but with order, where I have an opportunity to feel safe for facing up to myself.

Concepts: When I was young, I could imagine anything to be my friend and play with them all day long. Dōu Dou, a plastic bag, is one of my most important imaginative friends. As I grew up, such ability to dream and imagine gradually disappeared, and Dōu Dou has become an ordinary plastic bag in my mind. Hope you never lose your imagination, it will be your best friend when you are alone!

Duration: 2:58 minutes
Concepts:Last year was a year of great changes in national policies and macro-control. Likewise, more young people chose to "Tang Ping" The moment in bed I think is the most comfortable and relaxing moment for most people, while the familiar smell helps relieve stress and anxiety. And taste, I think, is the most intuitive form that can make the human brain make up a state and space.
Also this work is negative because the leeks will rot and go bad over time. Just like every one of us crushed by the wheels of the times, we know that we have no way to change the status quo, but at this moment, at this moment, we can enjoy this moment of comfort.

Concepts: The table is made of Cherry wood and entirely by hand tools(hand-carved joineries and hand-plained parts). The work is inspired by a childhood lullaby that my mom sang to my twin sister and I when we were little called Hey Diddle Diddle, where one phrase of the rhyme goes"the cow jumped over the moon", suggesting a nature's and animal's connotations of wholesomeness, love and comfort in English culture.
Growing up in a Chinese urban center, my sister and I lived in an apartment building among the skyscrapers and played in the urban parks. We used to sit under trees and fantasized about living in the wild and farms playing with animals, and the Hey Diddle Diddle lullaby became a central piece of our fun and dreams.

Concepts: An oversized western style belt buckle was created from an aluminum cast to wear and perform in. In this instance, the person who wears it is receiving a blowjob from a guy in the military suit, to show a reversal of overall dominance. Aluminum is an archival and strong material, but once coated in layers of paint, its surface identity is vulnerable.
Many people pressure boys to feel as if they should not put much care into their outfits, as if they do, they might be labeled “fragile” or “girly”. But I think there is nothing wrong with that. Boys are not only meant to do hardcore work, and being fabulous doesn’t relate to gender. Size: Width (cm) 61 Length (cm) 5 Height (cm) 51 Weight 3kg

Artwork: Dried Fish
Concepts: People often use "dried fish( 咸鱼)" in Chinese to describe a lazy state. One day I walked along the east river on my way home. I saw a fish stranded. It was still alive. I climbed over the fence to help it return to the water. At that moment, I remembered the word "dried fish." The jumping fish proves the existence of vitality in dying. I think lazy people also have hidden vitality. I scanned my friends' living spaces and my body and placed them in a virtual nature. These life slices also record our vitality. I used Unity as the main carrier of my current digital works, because I wanted to provide the audience with a more authentic virtual experience that sought to exemplify the notion of creating a new world within a virtual space. The process of creating a new world within a virtual space is analogous to the process of an art installation. Additionally, I regarded this creation of a new world as a projection of the physical world in which I inhabit. To execute the
notion of translating a physical reality to a digital space, I used 3D scanning technique to introduce living environments including my own in the virtual world. In the screen recording video, the viewer can have a preview of the virtual worlds. I reduced the impact of walking on the player's camera, it gave the audience a feeling of flying in the video. Players can jump in the space. Jumping also brought joy to the
video. Additionally, the sound in the videos was one of the most interesting parts of the creative process. The messy drum beats and recording clips provide a breath of natural life to the artificial space. At the same

It unfolds in a surreal style about the protagonist, a ballerina who can't seem to recall the events of her missing ballerina friend, she can’t help but feel a sense of guilt. Sigmund Freud's 'repression' psychoanalysis theory is shown, as fragments and hauntings of what could have happened to Rose haunt Lily in her dreams, but still, she can’t quite remember. The story unfolds as real-time, memories and dream sequences unite. Reality and surrealism seem to merge. In time, Lily and the audience are forced to confront the truth... but the question on everyone’s mind is “What happened to Rose?”
