Performance Environment This work revolves around the Prohibition of Spatial Destruction, questioning how individuals in hyper-regulated spaces resist passive existence and leave traces of their ephemeral presence. The work consists of three key components:

Painting: root. Ink brushstrokes sprawl like wild grass, representing how disciplined individuals seek cracks within constraints to sustain their growth. The repeated tearing and reassembling of rice paper metaphorically embody the cyclical process of cultural fragmentation and restoration.

Ink Pool: Liquid ink flows across the floor, its form continuously reshaped by the footsteps of viewers. This instability reflects the fluidity of migrant identity and the ever-evolving nature of self-perception.

Walls: Scratches, torn paper, and pigment mark the tension between permitted destruction and prohibited alteration. The walls serve both as canvases of memory and as metaphors for power structures..
