The Meta 灯笼 Dēnglóng

LASALLE College of the Arts, 2024
Year 2, Semester 2

This project is a visual and material study of Chinese New Year lanterns and their role as everyday markers of cultural identity. While these lanterns are often associated with celebration and tradition, their placement across urban Singapore reveals a far more complex narrative—one shaped by personal adaptation, commercial repurposing, and organic transformation over time.

A multidisciplinary designer and storyteller whose work weaves through memory, identity, and vernacular culture. My practice often begins with the everyday—what we cook, inherit, and forget—and grows into visual archives, publications, and digital experiments that hold space for nuance.

Whether I’m tracing the rhythms of intergenerational food traditions or curating horror literature on @shereadsbecause, I’m drawn to the soft, the intimate, the unspoken.

Currently based in Singapore. Always looking for new collaborators, conversations, and contradictions.
