Dyslexia

Five books were hanging from the ceiling. In the center of the room, a large dictionary sat on a book shelf. When the viewer approached the book shelf, a motion detector was activated and all the books began to spin. Since they were spinning, books became illegible.

Being Familiar

The notebook was filled with hand written words backward, from right to left. The video showed the action of writing them. It started very slowly and gradually got faster as if I became more and more adept at writing backward.

Ego Balls

Sixty four mirror balls were hanging from the ceiling. When someone passed by, a motion detector triggered the balls to vibrate.

Letter From

Letter from is a greeting card that I wrote to myself. In a red envelope, there are several photos of my surroundings such as my house and studio in RISD. Simple handwritten notes are on the back side of each photo.

Things Dripping on Me

It is a third piece of the series Building Private Space. The space is defined only by a paper laid out on the floor and a double-sided window frame hanging as a ceiling. Filled with water or ink, the old frame starts to leak. The drops dripped and seeped into the floor to make patterns.

Resurrection Series

Inspired by a golden crown from "Silla" and James Frazer's "golden bough", I was focus on the idea of relationships between humans and nature.
