An apricot longs for a lover. In his fantasy of a romantic, intimate relationship, he learns to love and to be loved. Is it only by becoming part of mother nature can we forever be intertwined?

Combining live-action and stop-motion animation, How To Hold An Apricot is a love letter to the 90s mandarin romance culture that my generation grew up in. Heavily influenced by pop music, films and TV shows of the era, this film pays tribute to the visual style and depiction of unrequitted love.

Lotus Lake is an interactive web art that explores the topic of nostalgia and romanticization of a cultural root considered as “home”. By interacting with visual and literary elements, a fictional past based on mandarin culture unveils from stories of different characters. Inspired by 90s Taiwanese band Mayday’s signature song Embrace, the lyrics are deconstructed and weaved into each “chapter” to form an unconventional, experimental non-linear narrative.
