Me and Wenjun XIE colloaborate on multi-disciplinary matriarchal practice, exploring the transformation and regeneration of trauma in female life experiences. Supported by female friendship, we personify priestess in our creations and inspire our creations by summoning women's voices worldwide with a non-anthropocentric perspective.
Fictional narratives of women and the sea are our main direction, including but not limited to myth, fairy tales, science fictions, etc. We take the abilities of language and narration to create a gynocentrism narration. By exploring the topics of human nature and nature, we reflect on issues of ecology and sustainability featuring regeneration, love, reciprocity, and community.

With the perspective of urban semiotics, the urban is the place of our meeting with the other and exchange of social activities, and among them, romantic interactions is a special form. The space of city thus is a realm where people get obsessed and lost, watch themselves and others getting obsessed and lost.
