Where Spirituality Becomes Form

My interdisciplinary practice explores the intersections of ritual, performance, and cultural memory through a diasporic and embodied lens. Grounded in Buddhist and Indigenous cosmologies, my work engages with themes of grief, displacement, and transformation—often materialized through photography, movement, and site-responsive installation. I approach the gallery as a space for ceremony, where art becomes both offering and invocation. Drawing on lived experience as a child of Vietnamese refugees, I investigate how aesthetics can hold trauma, honor ancestry, and facilitate collective healing. Each project becomes a methodology for reworlding—where presence, breath, and the unseen are central to artistic inquiry.
