Every one loves stories. That’s the reason we have art and creations. As a visual storyteller in theater and film, my scenic design philosophy shows through meticulous research, the disciplined practice of craft, deep dramaturgical exploration of text, unimpeded creativity, and profound respect for the cultures and identities of the stories and characters we explore. As an immigrant artist from Taiwan, I always care about identity and humanity. We all try to share our beliefs and open more conversations. I wish I could be clever as a problem solver but also a person who is never afraid to ask questions to the world. (Also feel comfortable to leave them unsolved at the same time.) There is a quote from the playwright, MARÍA IRENE FORNÉS, “I never teach you how to write. I teach you how to transport yourself to the world.” Please don’t be afraid to find a way to face challenges, even if you do not “overcome” them. You will get to know yourself better in the process. I’m excited to collaborate and engage with you, visualizing the stories, transforming the daily life scene to creative spaces and learn how human behaves in physical and dimensional environments.
