Of Sand and Stones is a video work exploring the ecological and symbolic weight of the semiconductor, a component often invisible, yet foundational to the architecture of the digital world. Composed primarily of silicon derived from sand and stones, semiconductors are the hidden material through which our most advanced technologies operate, revealing tension between the weightlessness of innovation and the heaviness of the earth it quietly consumes.
There, shapes flicker across granular surfaces, forming a visual assemblage of technological environments that remain elusive and incomplete. This unstable imagery reflects the fractured nature of global semiconductor production and the complexity of the systems it supports. From Coastal hubs in Taiwan to desert-based fabrication plants in Arizona, Of Sand and Stones poetically renders the precarious balance between progress and control that these circuits of production expose.

Bad Kingdom is a poetic visual story where three characters, Robin in Taipei, Swan in Tokyo, and a mysterious Crow, recall the early days of the multiplayer game Fly Like a Bird.

Its multiplayer mode fostered a vibrant community, blending playful mechanics with meaningful social interaction, a nostalgic emblem of early internet culture. Over time, the game evolved with new species, environments, and hazards. But as its popularity grew, players began exploiting vulnerabilities in its system.
