Artist Statement｜
I am a choreographer who has focused on women's issues in recent years, particularly the impact of patriarchy on women. Beginning in 2022, I started researching the ecology of Taiwan's sex workers, gaining a deeper understanding of their lives through street observations, discussions with women's groups, and interviews with retired sex workers. In 2023, I created a work titled Women of Wanhua, which revolves around the stories of Taiwan's sex workers.

My creative work centers on life and emotions, emphasizing the expansion of perception and discovering the kinetic energy and movement of the body through sensory experiences. I believe that creativity should never be divorced from humanity. Through empathy, I conduct research and self-exploration, addressing societal challenges in my work while seeking possible solutions. I hope my work can have a healing and inspiring effect on the public.
