Taiwan faced the threat of economic and political unification posed by China, which has lead to the outbreak of the Sunflower Revolution.

Amidst this wave of revolution, a deep and boiling quest of “Taiwanese identity” emerged, challenging the long-standing Sino-centristic identity propagandas.

Debates over the colonial impact surfaced, the predominant Taiwanese-Han chauvinism discourse countered with Indigenous Independence movement, and the rhetoric patriarchal nationalism convened the rise of the queer practices.

Drawing from my family background and Taiwan’s political shifts, I worked with pro-independence parties, joined Indigenous and gender movements, trained with a U.S. lobby group, and infiltrated both UN assemblies and the PRC’s reunification alliance. These experiences exposed me to the deep divides and raw passions that shape identities—encounters that have since become vital nourishment for my artistic practice.
