Total Internal Reflection
This body of work draws from the CIA’s declassified Stargate Project (1978−1995), a Cold War program that investigated psychic phenomena, particularly remote viewing, as a possible tool for intelligence gathering. I am particularly drawn to this archive as it allows me to navigate a crucial moment when the Institution attempted to legitimize the uncertain, exposing how speculative practices were institutionalized and preserved as authoritative knowledge.

I Hope Someday You’ll Join Us
As an Asian woman and queer artist living in Europe and working between Paris, Shanghai, and New York, I move between different cultures, languages, and systems of belonging. This position has shaped my understanding of proximity—not as physical closeness, but as something that must be actively created.
