undergraduate works
PHASE
PHASE is a group of works I have worked on during myfinal year of undergraduate study atMaryland Institute College of Art, and it is the stepping stone for my practice. Phase
contains a complete assemblage of garments, masks, music, photography, choreography,
and performance. I dedicate my work to exploring human communication with oneself
through ritual. I incorporate the basic concept of Nuo Opera, part of China's intangible
cultural heritage. In Nuo Opera, villagers put on masks representing and acting as gods. I introduce a similar concept in my work. When models wear my masks, they are free to be
anyone or anything. Nuo Opera is about communication between man and god. My work isabout the communication between the self and the person to complete the exploration of
their personality.
Crochet is a ritual, a practice of self-exploration. My crochet work is improvisational, and
every step expresses the subconscious. I use photography to locate my exploration with
the people who wear my work. I created a world within my values by completing an
assembly of live performances.
