Visual artist, currently pursuing an MLitt in Fine Art Practice at the Glasgow School of Art. She holds a BA in Comics and Illustration from the Communication University of China, Nanguang College.
Her practice centres on female experience, childhood memory, and the mechanisms of emotional discipline. Working primarily in watercolour on silk, often layered with mixed media, she builds delicate, dreamlike visual narratives that carry an undercurrent of unease. Through surrealist constructions and symbolic objects, she examines how fantasy shapes intimate relationships and constructs female subjectivity. Interweaving fairy-tale motifs, Rococo sweetness, and everyday objects, she creates a personalised visual language that explores the blurred boundaries between emotion and the body.
