I am a filmmaker and researcher from Nanjing, working across film, gender, media, and community projects. I am drawn to questions of gaze, representation, documentary ethics, and the lives and perspectives that are easily left outside the frame.

My work moves across film, research, and education, connected by recurring questions about gender, representation, interpretation, and how people understand one another.
