She does this by making visible how these issues are embedded in languages, popular culture, and day-to-day life. Recent projects include ‘LucySushi’ (2021-ongoing), writings on her positionality, ‘The Instagram Project’ (2020-ongoing), a series of work on how Chinese identity is constructed by internet images.

Her work has been exhibited in China, Italy, Poland, Sweden and the UK.
