Willow
Willow is an exploration of the cultural differences between Western values and Chinese heritage. It dives into the cultural difficulties that arise in a Western-born Chinese household through the poem
家書抵萬金 (jiā shū dǐ wàn jīn) by Du Fu
“A letter from home is worth ten thousand gold pieces”
It represents the distance between me and my family, defined by language barriers, cultural differences and the emotional inaccessibility formed by these difficulties.
“A letter from home is worth ten thousand gold pieces” unfolds into a cycle of phrases showcasing my personal struggles and difficulties growing up with these cultural differences. Traditional Chinese instruments and recordings of my childhood home merge into a fragmented soundscape of speech, memory and the endless longing and separation I feel for my family.

Basleidingen
Basleidingen explores ‘The Sound of the City’ by accentuating the low frequencies that permeate urban environments, inspired by a phenomenon known as “The Hum”. Often regarded as mysterious, these sounds are believed to originate from various sources that contribute to the city’s unique character.
Through ‘Basleidingen’ we unveil the allure and mystery of this phenomenon by repurposing Amsterdam’s water pipes to amplify resonant frequencies, creating an auditory experience that represents the essence of Amsterdam and its mysterious ‘Hum’.
The interactive installation features an ‘Idle State’ where a controlled feedback loop replicates the movement of water once coursing through these pipes. The audience can disrupt this ‘Idle State’ by striking the pipes, allowing them to hear the authentic resonance of “The Hum”.
In collaboration with Gilles van Arkel & Stan van Dijk
Exhibited at “De Nijverheid” in Utrecht, The Netherlands, 2024.
