My practice has developed through sustained engagement with community-based contexts, including exhibitions, workshops, and cultural events working alongside refugee and asylum seeker groups, as well as queer and ballroom communities.
I work within community contexts including refugee groups and Scottish Refugee Week.
As part of group exhibitions such as Interwoven Tales, my work has been presented alongside artworks by refugees and asylum seekers, situating my practice within a wider collective framework rather than as a singular narrative. I have also contributed to community-focused programmes during Scottish Refugee Week, where creative practice functions as a shared space for presence, exchange, and care.
These experiences inform my understanding of art as a relational and embodied practice, shaped through proximity, listening, and working alongside others rather than speaking on their behalf. The communities I work within form an integral context for my practice, influencing both its ethics and its methodologies.

此展览现场照片记录了一次群展，我的作品与难民和寻求庇护者的作品一同展出。
左侧展示的两件作品是我为本次展览创作的：一件是诗歌文字作品，另一件是与女书（中国南方女性书写文字）相关的摄影作品。这两件作品置于一个更大的集体展览空间中，与难民和寻求庇护者创作的刺绣肖像和纺织品形成对话。
通过展览、工作坊和包括苏格兰难民周在内的公共项目，我的创作实践与难民和离散社群，以及酷儿和舞厅空间紧密相连。我的作品并非代表他人发声，而是通过共同在场和共享空间的方式运作，使不同形式的具身语言、写作和创作能够并存。
这些社区背景构成了我实践中不可或缺的一部分，塑造了我的伦理框架以及我对艺术作为一种关系过程的理解。
