After several exhibitions in New York, she exhibited her work in KG＋, KYOTOGRAPHIE Satellite event. Her exhibition, One-World and Collapsing World, is composed of two photographic installations: one is configured in the acrylic blocks, while the other is a video projection that uses the technique of the algorithm to visually fuse nature and the city. Architecturally composing the photos reflects the world in which we live. Beyond a certain dimension, nature and the artificial meld into one.
