Interactive art, immersive media, and practice-led research.

I create interactive installations using sound, moving image, VR, and physical interaction. My work explores how bodies encounter environments and other perspectives, translating movement into sensory feedback and attending to rhythms beyond the human.

My current research direction grows from a question within this practice: how do participants recognise their influence in a shared immersive environment? I am interested in how actions are transformed, combined with those of others, and retained as traces for later encounters.

I am completing an MA in Immersive Arts at the University of Bristol. In 2025, I graduated from the Digital Media Arts dual-degree programme between Xiamen University and the University for the Creative Arts, receiving First-Class Honours for the UCA degree.

Undergraduate graduation project
Three-screen interactive installation

Artist / Interaction Designer / Developer

A three-screen installation in which imitation becomes a chain of interpretation. Audience movement is captured by a camera and read by algorithms, producing mirrored feedback, contradictory text fragments, and an accumulating collective echo pool.
