During her residency at Keelung Artist Residency – “Growing Ferns, Becoming Ferns” Project in 2023, she developed the concept of “Plant-Flow Body ,” exploring connections between human bodily vocabularies and plant life. From 2023 to 2024, she pursued further training in circus acrobatics and partner techniques in Australia, continuing to refine her duet-based physical practice and research.
