I am a multi-disciplinary artist working mainly in installation, performance, and poetry. My practice stems from a state of in-betweenness, drawing from my experience as an immigrant from Hong Kong. I am interested in navigating memory, displacement, myth, and the body. I am interested in how beliefs about identity collapse and reconstruct through migration. I do this by reflecting on the interplay between personal and collective histories, as well as the transformative power of storytelling in navigating the nuances of belonging and displacement.
My ongoing project, 非人非魚 Interstice of the People, originates from the only existing mythology in Hong Kong; the story of Lo Ting (盧亭), a half-man, half-fish figure. Since the 1997 handover, the reemergence of Lo Ting has restated the myth permanently in conversation with the chimeric identity of Hong Kongers. I am interested in unravelling the already established visual language of Lo Ting: a fish head and torso, with human limbs. He is almost always male. I want to reimagine Lo Ting as a site of transformation rather than representation. The series is not to claim its origin, but to navigate a constant becoming, shaped by exile, memory, and resistance.
