Concept of the work
Moments
As I gaze at the indistinct scenes of everyday life, fragments of memory and stray imaginings constantly drift and overlap in my mind. Each moment, passing only a second ago, already feels fleeting, like a dream—becoming a private utopia that belongs to me alone.

Profile
Born in China. Completed an M.F.A. in Oil Painting at Musashino Art University in 2023. Currently based in Tokyo.
My work investigates the relationship between individual identities shaped by diverse cultural and social backgrounds and the established structures of urban space, often employing anonymous landscapes as primary motifs. Through the use of multiple media, I seek to reveal the invisible layers embedded within lived time and space. My recent practice has been centered on video works created with the rotoscoping technique, which involves tracing over live-action footage.
Selected exhibitions include Flavor of the Days - The situation of A (Otonari Coffee, 2025), Musashino Art University Graduate Exhibition (2023), In the Puddle (SHINBI GALLERY, 2021), and Someone Is Awake (Former Movie Theater, 2021).
