About The Artwork

Pillar of Salt: Illuminated History in Writing is a series of illuminated crowd-sourced written history in the shape of light sculpture, honoring individual’s intentions of advancing gender equality. The project was supported by Halcyon Arts Lab Social Impact Residency (2018-19). In the course of 9 months, I partnered with Hirshhorn Museum/French Embassy, The Goethe-Institut DC, Flow Yoga Center, Corcoran School of Arts and Design and the Smithsonian Freer|Sackler Gallery and launched a series of interactive installation, activating existing physical space to engage, empower and mobilize the communities. Participants were invited to respond to the prompts through an intention setting writing ritual: To advance gender equality, what are you doing well? What can/will you do better? I collected the commitments, and used the paper pieces to construct light sculptures, during which process illuminating individual’s personal relationships with existing gender stereotypes and their intentions to contribute to building a future of gender equity.

I am a multiform conceptual artist with a social practice. I approach systems and structures are products of design that shape and get shaped by human experience. My works examine this cyclic causal relationship and study how ethical values are institutionalized in the process, via the lens of technology, social justice and capitalism. My works exist as codes of conduct, performative interventions, multimedia installations and their documentation. I perform absurd interpretations of ethical values and negotiate idealism within a fully diverse society, while knowingly exhibit a willingness to count on human agency to see change for the better. Currently, I focus on revealing states of institutionalized disempowerment, facilitating radical community healing, and designing systems for intrinsic accountability.
