I have thought about it for a long time — writing about myself doesn’t seem too difficult, but introducing my work and what I do for a living feels a bit harder! That’s because I don’t follow a single career path like most people. Cross-disciplinary? Not quite. My work and my passions are inseparable — my interests are my work, and my work is my interest. I think that’s the most perfect description of myself! (Apologies — I’m at a loss for words.)

Let me start with the jobs I’ve had. After graduating from the Fine Arts program at Fuhsing Art School, I joined a children’s movement and performance company as an artist and choreography designer. Then I served in the military. After discharge, I worked as a window display designer for a Hong Kong fashion company, then moved to an advertising agency as a graphic designer, and later to a design firm. Around that time, I started taking on mime and commercial performance projects. Without realizing it, the performance work kept growing — so much so that I had to quit the advertising agency to focus on performances full-time. That was when my life took a major turn.
