(b. Guangdong, China) photographer based in Amsterdam. Working across photography, printmaking, and bookmaking, she explores the transformative life of images through material processes. Her practice moves between abstraction and the physicality of printed matter, focusing on how images shift across time, perception, and the changing conditions of materials.
