Her research materializes as installations, audiovisuals performances, and digital arts aiming to create multimedia experiences that make the invisible manifest.
Her work has been exhibited and performed internationally, including IKLECTIK Artlab(UK), Cromwell Place(UK), Ocean Leisure(UK), Ten Square(SG), Media Art Nexus(SG), IRCAM Symposium (FR), and Strawberry Music Festival (CN).

Artworks in this space:
Plastic Carnival
Plastic Carnival is a digital animation concerning the problem of plastic waste in the oceans. The work imagines a speculative world where, in 2050, there would be more plastic debris in the ocean than fish. Set beneath the ocean's level surface, where all sorts of plastic rubbish floats, they will, unexpectedly, dance to music in the dynamic ocean, creating a carnival-like celebration. These seemingly free and active pieces of fishnets, plastic bags and bottles are telling us about this serious and urgent problem in a playful way.
