Through handcrafted mechanical assemblies, she creates "non-human performers" that explore the interplay between the body, labor, and technology within semi-fictional contexts. Her recent practice extends into researching narratives of sweetness and microscopic life, using these topics as vehicles to investigate non-human temporality and the evolutionary threads of matter. Through the orchestration of space, her work seeks to evoke an intuitive bodily perception that transcends the visual.
She had her double-person show in Double Double Gallery in Beijing. Her latest work Women at Work was shown at UTA Artist Space in Los Angeles. She has recently been a member of the Goethe Institute fellowship program AI to Amplify. She participated in the 2021 Huayu Youth Art Award(Sanya, China) as a member of the artist collective — "44 Monthly”.
