Selected Work

Independent media art works · 2026

Dreams in Fragments

A series of dreamlike virtual landscapes explored through point clouds and 3D Gaussian Splatting. Three short studies move between a garden, a rainforest, and a waterside scene.

Collaborative XR installation · 2025

Cloud Tower

An immersive ascent through an octagonal tower and a point-cloud city. Walking through the installation turns the logic of a computational model into an embodied spatial experience.

Exhibited at the Shenzhen & Hong Kong Bi-City Biennale of Urbanism/Architecture

Collaborative memorial landscape · 2021

Trace-s

A memorial landscape for the Sewol ferry disaster. Interwoven water lines and visitors’ fleeting footprints connect individual remembrance with a shared civic space.

Honorable Mention, Non-Architecture Unbuilt Project Award 2022
