I am a Taiwanese ceramic artist based in Australia’s South West, Margaret River. My work draws profound inspiration from both my cultural roots and a five-year involvement with environmental protection organizations. This time spent in close contact with the natural world awakened in me a deep reverence for the subtle interweaving of human emotion, natural form, and the quiet wisdom found in textures shaped by time.
At the heart of my practice lies a desire to explore memory and emotion through organic ceramic forms. I approach clay as a medium not only of touch, but of transformation—where form and feeling merge. The textures of seed pods, bark, and eroded stone find their way into my work, serving as metaphors for inner landscapes shaped by experience.
Currently, I focus on the deconstruction and reconstruction of seed shells—natural forms that hold life and loss in equal measure. This process becomes a visual and emotional language through which I examine hidden emotions, fragmented memories, and the quiet spaces between. Deconstruction is not destruction—it is a gentle unravelling of what has been held too tightly. Each broken shell fragment carries the weight of a story, a gesture toward past selves, forgotten moments.
Through abstraction and arrangement, I seek to evoke transformation—not in a linear sense, but in the layered, spiraling way memory truly moves. My sculptures do not offer answers; they invite a pause, a breath, an encounter with the in-between. I hope viewers find in them a kind of resonance, as if recognizing something they had not known they remembered.
Ultimately, my work is an ongoing search—for belonging, for balance, and for the quiet beauty of things that are incomplete yet whole. It is my way of listening to the world and giving shape to what is often left unspoken: the fragile, enduring threads that connect us to nature, to time, and to one another.
