Crossing the River by Feeling the Stones originates in a concealed bodily experience from childhood, unfolding into an exploration of desire, sexuality, and fantasy shaped by migration. Borrowing from a Chinese metaphor for navigating uncertainty through instinct and touch, the project reflects a state of curiosity, confusion, and continuous searching. 

        Through staged photographs, I invited female friends to perform ordinary gestures of daily life: domestic, bodily, and playful actions moving between care, routine, intimacy, and the rituals through which a home is inhabited. Oscillating between constructed fantasies and desires I could not explore while growing up in China, the images twist and complicate conventional ways of looking at the female body, inhabiting sapphic eroticism, exposure, curiosity, and strangeness.
