Designer born in Changsha, Hunan, currently living and working in Berlin.
My current practice and research focus on grains and fermentation, using them as a form to explore acts of disobedience and possibilities for reconnection with the land within urban life. I aim to foreground the dual meaning of “culture” — as both microbial growth and human cultural practice — and to trace the pathways food leaves as it migrates with people across time and space.
