Narrative

Within the Visual

My practice explores how narrative emerges within the visual.

Moving across visual art, performance, photography, writing, and curating, I investigate how visual forms carry time, memory, and emotion, generating new narratives through the viewer’s act of looking and imagining.

創作關注敘事如何生成於視覺之中。穿梭於視覺藝術、表演、攝影、文字與策展之間，我持續探索視覺如何承載時間、記憶與情感，並在觀者的觀看與想像中生成新的敘事。

Six most appreciated Brutalist buildings

Brutalism was also influenced by Bauhaus school, which emphasized functionalism and simplicity in design.

Brutalism in Architecture expresses the essential qualities of a building’s materials and structure in an honest and direct way. The architectural style emerged in the mid-20s, based on the brute and unadorned use of concrete.

Brutalism, named by the French term béton brute, or brute concrete, became popular in the post-WWII era, when the need for affordable housing and public buildings led to widespread use of concrete.
