自述Care about the Things That Have Been Overlooked凝视被忽略之物
“I am a creator searching for faint glimmers within the folds of ordinary life — using a camera to listen to the whispers of those folds, and the stage to trace the dance of fingertips, so that the silent presences among us can be seen.”
“我是一名在生活褶皱中寻找微光的创作者——坚信艺术是灵魂的显影剂，用镜头倾听皱纹的私语，用舞台收藏指尖的舞蹈，让无声者被看见。”— from my 2026 artist statement — 摘自我的 2026 年艺术家自述
My work has always focused on the same question: What have we collectively agreed to stop noticing? A comic about insects that no longer hit windshields. A photograph of a forest after a fire. The shared box of sanitary supplies in the school hallway that someone always quietly refills because no one wants to talk about it. I am drawn to things that are plainly there yet have been trained out of our sight.
In 2026, three of these works, namely comic, a photograph, and a poster, received recognition from the Scholastic Art & Writing Awards. Their styles differ greatly, and that is precisely the point: I choose the medium the question demands, not the one I know best.
The other half of my creative practice happens out of the audience's sight. As the head set designer of my school's drama club, I build the worlds where stories unfold—whether a gothic altar for Corpse Bride or a scale-model box for a professional production in Shanghai. Design has taught me that a room can "speak." Before an actor says a word, the space has already shown the audience what kind of world they are in, and I am eager to keep learning how to create in this way.
Recently, I have extended a third thread from these two: treating technology as a material rather than a tool. I create through "vibe coding"—describing my vision to AI and then iterating based on what actually appears on screen, a process that feels more like studio practice than conventional coding. My research in Guizhou led to a proposal for AI-generated Miao embroidery patterns and augmented reality (AR) cultural scenes, aiming to help local teenagers see their own cultural heritage as a skill worth mastering. This website is the same experiment: I designed and built it this way, and I made every editorial decision about what to include and what to leave out.
I know where I still fall short. My command of visual technology has not yet caught up with my ambition for it, so I am deliberately closing that gap rather than expecting it to resolve itself. But I am certain of why I create: creating is one faint light kindling another.
我的创作总是绕回同一个问题：我们究竟集体默许自己不再去注意什么？一部关于挡风玻璃上再也沾不到几只虫子的漫画；一张山火过后的树林照片；学校走廊里一个悄悄补货的卫生巾共享盒，没人愿意开口去问。我总是被那些明明摆在眼前、却被所有人训练成视而不见的东西吸引。
2026 年，其中三件作品——一部漫画、一张照片、一张海报——获得了 Scholastic Art & Writing Awards（美国学生艺术与写作大奖）的认可。它们彼此毫无相似之处，而这正是重点：我选择问题需要的媒介，而不是自己最顺手的那一种。
我创作的另一半，发生在观众视线之外。作为学校戏剧社的主舞美设计，我搭建故事发生的那个世界——为《僵尸新娘》做的哥特式神坛，为上海一场专业演出做的等比例模型箱。设计教会我：一个空间本身也可以有态度。演员开口之前，空间早已告诉观众这是个什么样的世界，而我想继续学习如何用这种语言书写。
最近，我把第三条线索也编织了进来：把技术当作一种材料，而不是工具。我用 vibe coding（氛围编程）的方式做东西——把想法讲给 AI 听，再根据屏幕上真实出现的效果不断调整，这种感觉远比传统编程更像是在工作室里创作。我在贵州做的田野调查，最后提出用 AI 生成苗绣纹样、用 AR 呈现文化场景，帮助当地青少年看见自己的文化传承本身就是一项值得拥有的技能。这个网站正是同一种实验：我用这种方式设计并搭建了它，网站上出现什么、不出现什么，每一个编辑决定都由我来做。
我清楚自己还欠缺什么。我对视觉技术的掌握，还配不上我对它的野心，而我正在有意识地弥补这一点，而不是坐等它自己变好。但我确信自己为什么要创作：创作的真谛，是以微光唤醒微光。
画室Compelling Images有态度的影像
Since Grade 9, I have devoted about three hours each week to photography, illustration, and comic creation. My work focuses on themes such as growing up, identity, and the things society silently consents to overlook. In 2026, three of my works were recognized by the Scholastic Art & Writing Awards, a long-running American competition for young artists and writers whose past participants include Andy Warhol, Sylvia Plath, and Amanda Gorman.
摄影、插画与漫画创作——从 9 年级开始，每周大约投入三个小时，反复回到成长、身份认同，以及一个社会默默选择不去看见之物这些主题。2026 年，其中三件作品获得了 Scholastic Art & Writing Awards（美国学生艺术与写作大奖）的认可——这项已有百年历史的美国赛事，历届少年参赛者中包括安迪·沃霍尔、西尔维娅·普拉斯与阿曼达·戈尔曼。
They Don’t Care
《他们不在乎》
Ink comic, six panels · drawn digitally in Freeform · Grade 11
墨水漫画，六格 · 使用 Freeform 数字绘制 · 11 年级
A six-panel comic about the decline of insects, starting with a simple observation: car windshields used to be covered in dead insects, but today they often stay clean. Few people stop to ask why. Through a child’s perspective, the comic introduces the “windshield phenomenon,” which reflects the decline of insect populations, and explores why people may care less about creatures they find unpleasant or ugly.
I first created the comic for my own school, hoping to encourage my classmates to think differently about their dislike of insects. The school later selected it as one of three environmental comics to display around the building, before I decided to submit it to the Scholastic Art & Writing Awards. It was also my first time drawing on a tablet. I spent one week learning the software and creating the comic, then spent another week refining it for the Scholastic submission.
这部六格漫画从一块挡风玻璃说起。过去，司机开车抵达时挡风玻璃总会沾满虫子的尸体；如今玻璃始终干净，却几乎没人问过为什么。漫画借一个孩子似懂非懂的逻辑展开，从“挡风玻璃现象”——一个真实存在、却悄然令人不安的昆虫种群衰退指标——讲到那种让我们无法在意“已经被判定为丑陋”的生物的偏见。我最初只是为了自己的校园而做，希望能说服同学们放下那种本能的嫌恶感，后来它被选为学校张贴在教学楼里的三幅环保主题漫画之一——那时我根本还没想过要拿它去参赛。这也是我第一次用数位板作画：先花了一周时间从零摸索、和软件较劲，后来决定把它投给 Scholastic，又花了一周进一步打磨。

Photograph · iPhone camera · Grade 11
摄影 · iPhone 拍摄 · 11 年级
This photograph was not deliberately composed. No chosen angle, no cropping or color grading. It was simply a scene I happened upon while on my way somewhere else: a grove of young trees, still bare in the height of summer, yet standing perfectly straight. They reminded me of my middle school classmates. We were in a high-pressure environment; some of us broke under it, while others held on tenaciously, their heads tilted slightly toward a sky none of us could fully reach. I wanted to hold that one second of gazing at them a little longer, so I took the photo.
这张照片没有经过刻意构图。没有挑选角度，没有裁剪调色——它就是我在赶路途中，恰好经过时看到的样子：仲夏时节依然光秃秃的一排小树苗，却仍执意笔直地站着。它们让我想起初中时那些身处高压环境中的同学：有人被压垮，也有人固执地挺立着，把头仰向一片我们谁都够不到的天空。我想找一种方式，把那一秒钟的凝视多留住一会儿，于是就有了这张照片。

Mixed-media poster on canvas · 16.5 × 11.7 in · Grade 11
综合材料海报，绘于画布 · 16.5 × 11.7 英寸 · 11 年级
A mixed-media protest poster inspired by Dark Waters and the real-world PFAS contamination it portrays. The poster focuses on three forces that can help bring attention to a case like this: public pressure, legislation, and a company acknowledging the harm it has caused. Like my comic, this work was not originally made for a competition. I researched and developed the poster over several days, then displayed it around my school to raise awareness of water pollution and environmental protection. I wanted to draw attention to environmental issues that people on campus might otherwise overlook in their daily lives.
这张抗议海报围绕电影《黑水》（Dark Waters）以及它所改编的真实事件——PFAS（“永久化学物质”）污染案——展开，列出了真正能推动这类案件的三件事：公众压力、立法，以及企业自己承认造成的伤害。和那部漫画一样，它最初也不是为参赛而做——我用零散的几天时间做调研、写文案，只是想把它贴在自己的学校里，希望能让每天从水边、生态旁走过却习以为常的同学们，多一点点关注。

I grew up performing, but since Grade 10, I began working more behind the scenes. As a core member and lead set designer of Theaomai, UWC Changshu’s drama society, I help design and build the physical spaces for each production. During this time, I also helped the club grow to twenty-five members.
我从小就在舞台上表演，大约从 10 年级开始，我永久地转到了台口之后。作为 UWC 常熟戏剧社 Theaomai 的核心成员与主舞美设计，我参与搭建每一场演出的物理世界——在这个过程中，也帮助社团从最初的几个人壮大到二十五名成员。
僵尸新娘Corpse Bride
Theaomai Drama Society, UWC Changshu China Theaomai 戏剧社 · 中国常熟UWC世界联合学院This was my first production where I led the design from start to finish. The rose-covered gothic altar began as an iPad sketch, which I developed step by step for each scene. I then turned the design into a real set piece using foam board, wire, silk flowers, and hand-painted textures. After many hours of work on the workshop floor, it became the center of the entire second act.Designing on a screen and building in real life turned out to be profoundly different, and that contrast taught me more than either process could alone.
这是我第一次独立主导一部戏从头到尾的设计。那座缀满玫瑰的哥特式神坛，最初只是 iPad 上按提示逐格画出的草图，后来在工坊的地板上变成了泡沫板、铁丝、绢花，以及大量手工上色的肌理，最终成为整个第二幕围绕展开的核心场景。图纸与实物之间的落差，教会我的东西比这两者各自单独教给我的都多。

By this point, the club had grown from just a few members to twenty-five, making the production a far more collaborative effort.
这是我们对汤姆·舒尔曼原著剧本的改编演出：一面由撕碎的照片拼成的记忆墙，以及在结尾场景中把全体演员化为剪影的蓝色洗光。我参与搭建了那面记忆墙，也和整个剧组一起完成了这次设计——社团这时已经从最初的几个人壮大到二十五名成员，参与搭建的人手之多，也体现出了这一点。

Birdie Summer Camp · Shanghai YOUNG Theatre, Bird Hatching Season Birdie 戏剧夏令营 · 上海 YOUNG 剧场，鸟蛋孵化季This was a four-week intensive training camp in collective creation, hosted by Birdie, a theatre education organization run by professionals trained overseas. The camp culminated in an original work that I and eight other young creators collaboratively devised and rehearsed, exploring "privilege tied to one's background" and workplace sexual harassment—topics that several members of the team discovered they had personal experience with. I attended every script discussion and rehearsal, played a capybara, co-designed the final stage set, built the production's first set model box, and helped with publicity. The play had its official premiere before a paying audience—the first time my design work shared a building with an actual box office.
这是与 Birdie（一家由海归专业人士创办的戏剧教育机构）合作的为期四周的集体创作营。最后，我和另外九位年轻创作者一起，编创并演出了一部原创作品，主题是出身带来的特权，以及职场性骚扰——这个主题，我们团队中不止一人后来发现自己其实有过真实经历。我参与了每一次剧本讨论和排练，饰演了一只水豚，联合设计了最终的舞台布景，制作了这部戏的第一个模型箱，还协助做了宣传。演出最终面向付费公众开放——这是我的设计作品第一次和真正的票房共处一栋楼。

谁逼死了天使Who Killed the Angel
Creative Writing A3 · year-end original drama 创意写作 A3 · 年终原创戏剧This was a collaborative piece created by our creative writing class about school bullying and collective blame—one classmate drafted the initial script, and the rest of us refined it through rehearsal and revision. I was responsible for character design: I produced a full set of costume design boards, each grounded in reference images and annotated by hand with fabric choices, colors, and distressing details, so that what the audience saw on a character before they ever spoke already told part of the story. The play won "Most Touching Scene" and "Audience Favorite" at the year-end showcase.
这是我们创意写作课集体创作的一部戏，主题是校园霸凌与集体归责——一位同学执笔完成初稿，我们其余的人通过排练与反复修改，把它进一步完善。我自己的贡献是角色设计：一整套服装设计图板，每一张都围绕一张参考图展开，手工标注面料、色彩与磨损细节，让观众在演员开口之前，就已经能从每个人身上读出部分故事。这部作品在年终汇演中获得了最动人场景奖与最受欢迎奖。

造物Objects, Machines, and Code器物、机械与代码
I have always had the habit of not only proposing ideas but also bringing them to life with my own hands. Some of these projects began as coursework, while others grew out of an annoying problem that no one else was solving. More recently, they have started to involve software that I create through "vibe coding": I describe what I want to achieve, then iterate based on what is generated, a process that feels closer to studio practice than to engineering.
我一直保持着一个习惯：把想法真正做出来，而不只是提出方案。这些项目有些始于课程作业，有些始于一件没人去解决的烦心事，而最近，它们也开始包含软件——我用 vibe coding（氛围编程）的方式去做：描述出我想要的东西，再针对屏幕上出现的结果不断修改，这种感觉远比工程开发更接近工作室创作。

I built a working portable refrigerator using foam board, tin foil, a motor, and a Peltier cooling plate. It can switch between three power sources: 220V mains power, a 12V battery, and a solar panel. I hand-drew the outer shell because I believe something you build should not have to look like a lab experiment.

Vibe Coding & My Personal Site
氛围编程与这个网站
I started learning software development through vibe coding, using simple descriptions to tell AI what I wanted to build and then improving the result step by step. This portfolio website was built in the same way. I designed the site, decided what to include, and kept revising it until it matched what I wanted.
For me, coding is another way of making things. I want to continue exploring AI and AR, especially for projects that connect technology with the ideas and experiences I have encountered in my fieldwork in Guizhou.
我一直在学习用搭建舞台布景的方式去写软件：描述意图，认真审视返回的结果，然后修改。这个作品集就是其中一个成果——用这种方式设计并搭建，网站上出现的每一个决定都由我来做。接下来，我想更深入地投入 AI 与 AR 驱动的创作，这是我在贵州的田野调查已经指向的一个方向。
研究Questions I Wanted to Explore值得静下心细想的问题
Four studies, four starkly different settings: survey data on fan culture and identity, a relocated village in the mountains of Guizhou, a group of elderly women square dancing in Changshu, and a classroom where ten-year-olds first learn the word "boundary." What ties them together is this: when the people our theories concern are only a train ride away, we would rather not sit at a desk and theorize.
四项研究，四个截然不同的现场：关于粉丝文化与身份认同的问卷数据、贵州山区一个易地搬迁的村落、常熟一群跳广场舞的祖母们、一间十岁孩子第一次学习“界限”这个词的教室。把它们串在一起的，是一种坚持——当理论所讨论的人群明明只有一趟火车的距离时，就不该只坐在书桌前空想。
Power for LoveGenerating Love: Talent Show Consumption and Youth Identity
Do fans who spend money supporting idols in talent shows possess a more stable sense of self-identity than those who merely watch the programs? This study divided respondents into three groups—"non-viewers," "viewers," and "viewer-consumers"—combining questionnaires from 119 respondents with structured interviews, and analyzed the results across three identity dimensions: self-concept clarity, sense of belonging, and emotional energy.
The findings overturned the simple assumption that fan consumption is purely impulsive behavior: across all measurements, viewers who never spent money scored lowest among the three groups—even lower than those who did not watch such programs at all. In contrast, moderate and deliberate consumption was associated with a clearer and more stable sense of self-identity. The paper interprets fan consumption as a commitment to identity rather than an impulse, aligning with Erikson's "exploration–commitment" model of adolescent identity formation.
在选秀节目中花钱支持偶像的粉丝，是否比只观看不消费的粉丝拥有更稳定的自我认同？本研究将受访者分为非观看者、观看者与观看兼消费者三组，结合 119 份问卷调查与结构化访谈，从自我概念清晰度、归属感与情绪能量三个维度分析结果。
研究结果推翻了“粉丝消费只是一时冲动”这一简单假设：从不消费的观看者，在三组中的各项指标上得分最低——甚至低于完全不看这类节目的人。相反，适度、经过思考的消费，与更清晰、更稳定的自我认同相关联。这篇论文沿用埃里克森青少年身份认同理论中的“探索—承诺”模型，将粉丝消费解读为一种身份承诺，而非一时冲动。
Nanxiyuan Field StudyAfter Relocation: Nanxiyuan, Guizhou
Since 2015, China's poverty alleviation relocation program has moved more than 9.6 million people out of mountainous regions. In 2019, Nanxiyuan, on the outskirts of Guiyang, resettled 1,060 residents from seven mountain townships. The easier parts of this story have already been widely reported—the tidy housing, the 97.24% employment rate, the community clinic that did not exist before. This study set out to ask a harder question: what happens to resettlement communities when government subsidies taper off and they must learn to develop on their own momentum?
Through field interviews with a sanitation worker, a rattan-weaving workshop owner, a deputy director of the community committee, two schoolchildren, and the social worker who runs the after-school program, the study sketches a settlement in a difficult but "soft" transition—from infrastructure toward opportunity, culture, and the generation of teenagers now deciding whether to stay. The study concludes with a recommendation: the community's Miao and Bouyei cultural heritage—embroidery, dance, textile crafts—should be integrated into paid digital content training for local youth, including AI-assisted pattern design and augmented reality (AR) cultural scenes: turning cultural identity into marketable skills rather than something the school system quietly suppresses.
自 2015 年以来，中国的易地扶贫搬迁工程已将超过 960 万人迁出山区。贵阳郊外的南溪苑，在 2019 年安置了来自七个山区乡镇的 1060 名居民。这个故事比较容易讲的那一半已经被讲过了——整洁的住房、97.24% 的就业率、一间过去从未有过的社区诊所。这项研究想追问的是更难的那个问题：当政府补贴逐渐退坡，一个安置社区要如何学会自己产生动力。
通过对一位环卫工人、一位藤编工坊负责人、一位社区委员会副主任、两名在校学生，以及负责课后项目的社工进行实地访谈，本研究勾勒出这个安置社区正经历的更艰难的“软性”转型——从硬件建设转向机会、文化，以及一代青少年“是否要留下”的抉择。研究最后提出，应将社区的苗族与布依族文化传承——刺绣、舞蹈、织物工艺——纳入面向当地青少年、具有报酬的数字内容培训中，包括 AI 生成的纹样设计与 AR 文化场景呈现：让文化身份变成一项可以变现的技能，而不是被学校悄悄劝阻的东西。
Square Dancing & Emotional Well-Being
This study examined the relationship between group square dancing and happiness among 28 women at Fangta Garden in Changshu. Using a five-item happiness scale, semi-structured interviews, and regression analysis, I compared participants who danced once a week with those who danced five to seven times a week. Their average happiness scores were 17.0 and 23.1, respectively, suggesting a positive association between higher frequency of participation and happiness.
The interviews offered a possible explanation: regular participation provided social connections, a sense of purpose, and opportunities to feel useful. One participant, who had become the group's unofficial DJ, described dancing as something that made her feel useful. Rain was the main barrier to regular participation, leading to a simple practical recommendation: a covered pavilion.
在常熟方塔园，28 位经过健康与居住资格筛选的女性，按每周参加集体广场舞的次数被分组。通过一份五项幸福感量表、简短的半结构化访谈与回归分析，研究发现了一条清晰的上升曲线——从每周跳一次的舞者平均幸福感得分 17.0，到每周跳五到七次的女性得分 23.1。
背后的机制读起来像一个不断自我强化的小循环：反复参与建立起角色定位与社交联结，进而带来自我价值感，而这又会让人们想要参加更多。一位如今已成为舞队“非正式 DJ”的舞者，说得更直白——这让她觉得自己有用。唯一稳定的干扰因素是下雨，这也指向了一个朴素却明显的政策对策：建一座带顶棚的亭子。
Breaking Assumptions, Building Respect
This project developed a two-lesson curriculum on stereotypes, consent, and personal boundaries for 10–13-year-olds at a public school in Changshu that did not yet offer formal health education. A five-person team designed the lessons, administered pre- and post-tests, and delivered them in Chinese across two 50-minute sessions to a class of 25 students. Role-play was used to explain consent—through the question "Can I have that candy?"—and a basketball passed from student to student challenged the stereotype that boys are naturally better at sports. Post-test results showed more accurate understanding of consent and greater willingness to question gender stereotypes.
The unit earned HOSA's Regional Excellent Honor in Health Education and later became the template for the broader teaching work described below.
一套包含两节课的课程，围绕刻板印象、同意权与个人界限展开，专为常熟一所仍未开设正式健康教育课的公立学校里 10 到 13 岁的孩子设计。五人团队共同编写课程内容，设计了课前课后测试，并用中文为一个 25 人的班级上了两节各 50 分钟的课。一段角色扮演对话——“我可以吃那颗糖吗？”——用来演绎“同意”的概念；一颗在同学间传递的篮球，则用来演绎“男生天生更擅长运动”这一刻板印象。

同行Teaching through Drama大多是在玩耍中教会的
Ultimately, nearly all of the content was taught through drama—not because theater is my passion, but because a ten-year-old will act out the boundaries they would never voluntarily discuss, and a roomful of volunteers, long after they have forgotten the slides, will still remember that scene.
这些活动几乎都不约而同地用上了戏剧这个方法——不是因为戏剧是我的爱好，而是因为一个十岁的孩子会把自己不愿开口讨论的“界限”演出来，而一屋子志愿者会记住一个场景，远比记住一页幻灯片要久得多。

I took part in school sports events and public performances, including leading the full dragon dance routine on the main stage at UWC Changshu’s 10th Anniversary Graduation Ceremony. I also completed an entire cycling route around Qiandao Lake.
皮划艇、帆船、骑行与舞龙——定期训练之外，还包括校运会与公开演出，其中包括在 UWC 常熟十周年校庆毕业典礼主舞台上完整地带领舞龙表演。环千岛湖骑行，是我真正学会“带领一群疲惫的人”要付出什么代价的地方。

I helped produce TEDx events at school, from preparation through the event itself. I worked with speakers to develop and refine their talks, then managed backstage logistics on event days to keep the program running smoothly. I also provided live bilingual captions, typing and displaying translations on screen during each talk.
负责学校 TEDx 社团的制作统筹——联系演讲者并与他们一起打磨演讲内容，在演出当天负责后台的现场调度，并为每位演讲者实时打出滚动的中英双语字幕。

Where My Journey Started一切的起点
I auditioned for the Children’s Dream Drama Club in first grade and joined after six rounds of auditions. I stayed with the club through primary school and eventually became its president. During those years, I acted, wrote, directed, and designed for sixteen productions, several of which sold tickets and donated proceeds to charities supporting children with autism and families affected by Alzheimer’s disease.
I still return to direct and design for the club. The archive below gathers my work from primary and middle school, spanning 2016 to 2023. I have chosen to omit the long list of arts-festival awards and certificates because I would rather let the work itself show how I grew through these productions.
我从一年级起就报名参加“孩子梦想剧社”的选拔——前后经历了六轮试镜——并一直留在社团里，直到小学毕业，后来还当上了社长。那些年里，我在十六部作品中担任过演员、编剧、导演与设计，其中几部我们自己卖票，把票房收入捐给了支持自闭症儿童和阿尔茨海默病家庭的慈善机构。直到现在，我仍会回去为他们执导、做设计。
下面的档案，是这段经历的全部：从小学到初中，2016 年到 2023 年。我没有把具体的获奖名单放上这个网站，因为一沓艺术节证书，并不是我现在希望被这样解读的东西。但这里，是我的双手真正被训练出来的地方——比起奖状，我更想展示的是那些房间本身。
