An Illusory Garden, 300*300*300cm, China, 2019
Balloon Manifesto, 450*300*170cm, China, 2019
The project collected plastic waste from different people's lives and processed it into “food”.
The Illusory Garden is a project about environmental protection. I tried to express in my mind that human beings should live in harmony with nature by creating an ideal "garden of Eden" that does not exist but in the imagination.
This is a program that uses children's favorite colourful balloons as a medium to launch a campaign for adults to regain their innocence.

Brainstorm, 320*150*150cm, The Holburne Museum, Bath, UK, 2019
This is a cross-disciplinary project with a dance student, designed to enhance cultural exchanges between China and the UK, celebrating Easter in the UK with traditional Chinese lanterns. Use modern dance and Chinese classical dance to highlight the similarities and differences between Chinese and British cultures.
This is a joint project with the local museum, the Holburne Museum in Bath. According to the museum's requirements, we designed an installation art design for them to interact with visitors and collect feedback.
