中I spent 10 years as a theatrical lighting designer, shaping how audiences experience live performance. Now I'm integrating XR, real-time 3D, and AI into my practice, exploring how these tools can extend the way we experience and preserve space.
About this place
These journeys have quietly led me down many paths, but I find it hard to articulate who I am in a single phrase. So for now, I'm collecting and organizing, slowly finding my own way to tell my story through this process.
Think of it like a library. The titles (lighting designer, creative technologist, artist) are like classification labels. You walk into the art section, but underneath there are countless perspectives and practices waiting to be discovered.
Works contains complete projects and series. Blog has extended knowledge and notes I want to share and document for myself.
If you've read this far, thank you — and welcome to browse these shelves. I hope you find ideas, knowledge, and experiences that help you. Or simply feel relaxed and comfortable wandering around. That's great too.
