Dim Sum Press
Dim Sum Press started with my very first job as a Cantonese dim sum chef.
Later, as an artist, I wanted to connect that past with my present, and that is how Dim Sum Press came to be.
Today, through small but genuine cultural and creative projects, it shares and celebrates Cantonese culture.

Bookmaking Finishing Press (Tool Design)
I love making books, but I found that bookmaking tools are often very expensive. Since I also have skills in 3D modeling and woodworking, I started designing and making my own. I hope that everyone can have access to tools that are both affordable and good in quality. Over time, many fellow book artists have come to use them too.

Photo Paper in Color Wash
One day I found a box of unused matte inkjet photo paper in the studio. The printing quality was so terrible that I couldn’t use it for photographs, so I decided to give the paper a different purpose rather than waste it. I went to Target and picked up a handful of food coloring. In the basement, I experimented with washes of color across the sheets, letting each one dry with its own subtle texture. Later, I bound the pages together using a simple zine-style binding. For the cover, I stretched and used canvas, giving the notebook both sturdiness and a tactile surface. The edition sold out at a book fair hosted by MOCA Cleveland.

Nothing to Do
One afternoon in 2018, I was bored out of my mind and desperately wanted a break from photography. So I picked up a roll of toilet paper and began gluing tiny eye on it. I didn’t know why. I still don’t know why. But it made me strangely happy, so I kept going.
This is the result.
