My practice as an artist involves a mix of video art, painting and
web coding, and is deeply influenced by a nomadic and
multicultural upbringing. I mainly address ideas of dislocation,
globalization, and cultural imperialism. By remixing American pop
media with cultural theory, I makes light of personal topics such
as biracial identity and alienation. Visual motifs such as
pixelated images, bright colors, looping animations haphazardly
stitched together to form half-remembered environments all speak
to my experience of the internet as a new kind of territory to
root oneself in, in the absence of physical third spaces and
cultural belonging.

This Is Where I Am Coming From is a multi-channel video installation
that comes to grips with the fantasy of globalization and the
portability of memory. The installation features a stack of CRT
monitors, placed on a small cart with luggage tags attached. The
project explores the paradox of distancing oneself from one’s
memories to better preserve them, while also ensuring that they are
as lightweight and portable as possible for one’s own circulation
around the globe. As geographic distance collapses in compact
drives, the fantasy of being a “citizen of the world” eclipses any
sense of belonging and rootedness.

Video documentation of web project built using HTML, CSS, Javascript and Media Pipe
Video documentation of web project "1px = 30.6km/We Are This Far Apart"(2025), inspired by Josh Worth's "If the Moon Were Only One Pixel". This creative coding project was made using HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and Google’s Media Pipe Solutions Hand Landmark model. The concept of this project is to represent large distances on a smaller, embodied scale, a reflection of how the body does not physically register the distance traveled via plane. Through online video calling platforms such as FaceTime, Discord, long distance relationships collapse into one screen. The project is a confrontation of the inconsistent internal sense of distance with numbers, which become slippery and wobblier the more you try to stabilize your hand.

“Best of Both Worlds” is a multichannel video installation which plays on the Disney Channel show Hannah Montana to address my own biracial identity. The project serves as a playful approach to a traumatic subject: the cultural disconnect I experienced growing up, being alienated from my mother tongues and forced by my North American environment to prioritize understanding my peers rather than my family. Ultimately, the project concludes with the one lesson that Disney Channel has taught me: that the one true, universal culture is (American) cultural imperialism. The project reflects an older version of Disney Channel which had not yet adopted discourses of “representation” and “never forget who you are and where you’re from” rhetoric.
