My work explores memory, nature, and the deep, ongoing relationship between the body, the land, and time. Rooted in personal experiences and questions of origin and belonging, I search for where I come from, where I am, and where I am going. Through journeys to volcanoes, mountains, and deserts, I reflect on the birth of the earth and the natural cycles of life and death. These landscapes become part of a larger meditation on motherhood, memory, and the body.

Early in my practice, I was inspired by the Möbius strip—a form with no beginning or end. I began transforming two-dimensional drawings into three-dimensional sculptures using wire, creating mental topographies—maps of thought, memory, and emotion—expanding infinitely in space and time. The meditative process of weaving metal wire allows me to enter a space like a bird inside a nest, enveloped by the form.

Old map imagery, viewed through an Asian landscape perspective, introduces a sense of void and openness. My sculptures include shapes that echo both the human body and elements of the natural world—mountains, clouds, trees—blurring the boundaries between organism and environment. These forms speak to our intimate ties with the planet, much like the bond between mother and child. Phrases like “Mother Earth” and “Homeland” reflect this emotional and symbolic relationship.

A simple line drawn on paper becomes a thread extended into space—growing into sculpture and installation. I use felt, yarn, and wire to add texture, color, and a sense of life to these structures. The resulting forms are not only visual but also spatial and experiential. Viewers are invited to walk into them, to enter a shared space of reflection—one that embraces both discomfort and beauty, absurdity and meaning.

This work is also a response to our current environmental moment. The effects of climate change, ecological crisis, and uncertainty shape the tone and direction of my installations. My art becomes both a shelter and a question, a place to contemplate the fragile, layered connection between human life and the natural world.

Outside In, one of my ongoing projects, installs both inside and outside the gallery space—inviting viewers to look through, into, and beyond. Like a mountain viewed from a distance, we are often misread or reduced by surface impressions. But, like the mountain, the body—and the land—holds its own complex truth.
