Interior Design (MA)
A interior designer from China, used to study public art. Mainly explores how space can tell stories — blending theatre, urban context, and social experience into immersive environments. I love creating spaces that spark emotion, invite interaction, and challenge the expected. Adept at constructing narrative spaces, conducting user research in the context of urban humanities and history, and artistically designing spaces.
On the riverside elevation, I added a series of LED screens and angular wall panels, arranged in layers across the metal structure. These screens display performance information and create a lively visual texture that catches the eye from a distance. People walking past can hear or glimpse moments of the ongoing show — turning the façade into a dynamic, theatrical interface.

Stage of Elsewhere: Performance Art Centre - Facade Night Screen Effect
This is not a theatre. It is a room that forgets its walls. A city living room where scenes unfold not just on stage, but around your glass, behind your chair, in the flicker of a stranger's silhouette. It is the breath between inside and out, where stories leak from the edges of space, and time loops gently like a forgotten song. You don’t enter. You drift in.

145g Liber Charta paper, folding size: 200mm x 200mm, expanded size : 2500mm x 400mm x 200mm, totaling 25 pages. Printed by Epson and HP Fine Art printers. My production of the book uses overlay as a technique to show roads and detail, the shape of the folded layout will talk about the pace and map. Each day of road photography forms an accumulation that becomes a library, like countless moments frozen on a single image, differing but also intermingling with each other. Besides, because I wanted the book to look more like a sculptural piece in the form in which it is displayed, with the extended pages unfolding like a road at one's feet, various spaces are created between the pages of the book to present the road from multiple perspectives, such as looking down and up, or making you feel like at a crossing.
