“A Fair Days’ Work” is a durational performance piece that explores relationship between time and labor in working environment. “Work” is often defined as paid actives links to the market. While paid work remain visible, the unpaid work in arts, as a phenomenon, remains unrecognized and undervalued. “A Fair Days’ Work” is not only a test of mental and physical endurance, but also a satire that echoes the condition of artistic labor in relation to capitalist economy and subsidy culture, providing a justification for the artists’ vulnerability.

“The Wall” is a durational performance that investigates current global migration situation and human conditions through gestures and symbols. This performance seeks intersections created by experiences of immigration and globalization. it raises awareness of our current global migration crisis, looking beyond national border and our shared responsibilities as citizen of the world, and how we continue to see ourselves in each other, and how we create a space that are grounded in inclusiveness and respect for dignity and freedom we all deserve.

I am pleased to announce that I will be performing a new durations piece, ” The Warrior ” at Harold J. Miossi Art Gallery, in San Luis Obispo, California, as part of at Inverse Performance Art Festival 1:00pm – 3:30pm, September 29, 2017
“The Warrior” is a durational performance that explores how to use self-care, a new feminist strategy of resistance, to transform violent conflicts. Recent feminist discourse discusses to the potential power and radical nature of embracing self-care to explore our vulnerabilities because if “I matter, we matter, we are transforming what matters.” In this performance, I employ the similar strategy to create a liminal being by subverting my body to a site of contradiction and satire. The war is not inevitable. Conflicts can be diffused and transformed; arms can be laid down for good. Peace may often be elusive, but it is within our grasp which is both a gift and a task. For me, what the most important thing in this performance is to create some positive and sustainable gestures/actions that have capabilities to transform violence without depicting violence itself. Through satirizing the role of armed-force and juxtaposing the meditative gestures, this performance not only reveals a powerful sense of self and openness, but also turns the battle ground to a harmonious meditation space that cherishes human dignity, peace with justice, and shared well-being.
