A series of rugs my partner Ghada and I made in the spring of 2021. Defining the distances between people for intimate conversations.
“We say we like chairs. I mean we do have like 4 different chairs in the living room. But every time we hang out we’re on the floor.”
These rugs are an indicator of the different com- fortable spaces between people. Each island on the rug is assigned to one person. Some islands are connected to each other through a shared area, and some are connected directly to each oth- er. The shapes of the rugs are the outlines of those scenario, and the colors are the warmth. Hopefully these rugs serve as sculptures of those sitting-on- the-floor conversations that we love.

In the summer of 2023, I hosted a pop-up event to sell the 5-panel hat I made. When considering the product display, we went with more of an installation route, showing all 50 hats for sale in a grid. The installation was a visual infographic showing the remaining stock of the inventory.

A collaboration between me and my middle school classmate, now good friend, Shutong. We were the photographer of our class. Shutting reached out to me in the summer of 2020 with a hard drive containing some of the pictures we took in middle school, and this project came about.
The title of the book is called “Bu Xiao”, translat- ed to “Not Young” or “Not Little”. When we were 12 years old, we thought we were old enough to be not treated as kids anymore. Those pictures carried that strong undertone. Due to the fact that those pictures were taken by us for us, It didn’t have the usual looks of kids that age. But in be- tween the acting tough, there are still traits of innocence.
