From an early age that gut-feeling yearns to come out and let itself known. I’ve explored this idea and absorbed into ‘Milky flame to a Ritual’, my thesis. In this piece of writing I explore how irrationality and womanhood, in both east and west, is weaved into this concept and offer a new angle into it, by drawing this intuition as a virtue—something that I carry in my daily life and personal relationships.

In SOLACE: Fighting Women, I translate this intuition through the art of fencing. I do this by spiriting the cultural matriarchy of Mongolian nomads, whom I draw parallel to as an Asian woman ‘fenced’ inside the periphery of western society. The handcrafted forged sword is my symbolic reinterpretation of women from the diaspora who ‘fight’—whether against physical, emotional, or psychological hardship. With my collaborators, I orchestrated a choreography, sound, and scenography of fighting women.

In this project, I take as reference the Japanese bamboo bag on display in the Bag Museum in Amsterdam to speak on how the western world views Japanese objects with an exotic aura without knowledge of their country's imperialist past and crimes committed.

It symbolizes an oppressive and binary society based on her experience in her childhood.

Comfort Ball is an art collective/ happening/ action, exploring Asian food as a tool to give voice to Asian female emotional laborers. They find parallels between being an emotional care laborer and being an Asian woman in European countries: both are often fantasized about and alienated. By counter-fantasizing a fictional neither utopic or dystopic scenery made out of different Asian ingredients ‘unfamiliar’ in other places, they catch and stress the gaze of fetishization and ignorance.
