Bench

Altered Heritage

This sculptural bench originates from parts of a damaged Italian console dating back to the early 20th century. Rather than restoring the missing sections, the design reinterprets the fragmented form through bold material interventions. Hand-carved beechwood is combined with Rosso Levanto marble and satin stainless steel to create a hybrid composition. The result is a functional seat that retains traces of its historical origin while presenting itself as a contemporary collectible object.

Suzumushi

Sounds of Suzumushi is a series of woven bamboo pavilions that reinterpret traditional basketry as inhabitable architecture. Using the Kagome weaving technique, long bamboo strips are interlaced to form lightweight, self supporting enclosures without mechanical fasteners. Digital modeling and structural simulation translate tacit craft knowledge into scalable construction, enabling forms from intimate seating to a pavilion for small gatherings. Filtered light, tactile surfaces and integrated sound create a calm sensory environment, renewing bamboo weaving as a contemporary social space.

Chowmein Holiday

Chowmein Holiday is a short dark comedy film about two Asian American grandmothers, Li Ling and May, on a road trip across California. The two characters begin a crime spree during the journey. One grandmother finds a new purpose in life, while the other keeps a secret from her partner in crime. The film was made to question common cinematic stereotypes of elderly women. Asian American grandmothers are shown not as quiet or docile figures, but as rebellious people seeking freedom, thrill and new meaning in later life. The running time is twenty one minutes.
