Artist / Illustrator / Animator

Taipei, Taiwan

Communications Design, Shih Chien University

My work is driven by curiosity about people, creatures, and the strange details hidden in everyday life. I’m interested in storytelling through animation, illustration, and visual experimentation, often exploring themes regarding the darker sides of human nature—loneliness, fear, grief, and social hierarchy—with mortality being my most recurring motif.

Growing up in Taipei has shaped the way I observe my surroundings. The contrast between dense urban life, ordinary routines, and the unexpected things found within them often becomes a source of inspiration. I enjoy taking seemingly simple or uncomfortable subjects and transforming them into imaginative worlds, using humor, absurdity, and sometimes darkness to reveal something more human.

As I continue my artistic journey, I’m exploring different ways of working beyond animation, while staying interested in visual storytelling and creating work that feels personal, curious, and slightly strange.
