摄影师、设计师与女性主义艺术研究者，现居上海。我通过影像、工具与语言，探索女性如何观看，以及女性如何被观看。
Born in Lichuan, Jiangxi — one of the least gender-equal and most educationally under-resourced regions in China — I grew up with an acute sensitivity to how gender shapes opportunity, mobility, and perception.
I moved to Shanghai at the age of six. The distance between these two worlds continues to shape how I observe images, bodies, and social structures.
My work grows out of this distance: between regions, between classes, between what is seen and what is overlooked.
我出生于江西黎川，6 岁开始在上海生活。两地在性别结构、教育资源与社会氛围上的巨大差异，让我很早意识到：观看并不是中性的，它与出身、性别与流动能力密切相关。这种持续的疏离感，逐渐成为我理解影像、身体与社会结构的起点。
Through photography, writing, and digital tools, I explore how women see and are seen — tracing visual narratives shaped by gender, migration, and everyday life in East Asia.
I work primarily with black-and-white photography, slow observation, and research-driven writing. Alongside image-making, I design tools that question how images are described, accessed, and understood.
通过摄影、写作与工具开发，我持续探索“女性如何观看”与“女性如何被观看”，并尝试重建一条属于亚洲女性的摄影史叙事。我的实践既关心影像本身，也关心影像如何被描述、被理解、被使用。
