Ethnographies of the Street: Walking as Inquiry
How do the linguistic and cultural textures of a city shape the lives of those who inhabit it? This project uses multimodal walking methodologies to explore the lived experiences of urban dwellers.

By collecting multimodal data—from ambient audio and visual cues to embodied narratives and spatial traces—I move beyond traditional observation. Walking alongside participants, I investigate how language, culture, and the physical terrain of the street co-create meaning. This is an ethnography not just of the city’s structures, but of its heartbeat: the fleeting encounters, rhythms, and sensory stories often left untold.

Virtual-Analog Synthesis (VAS): A Research-Based Methodology for Contemporary Art Creation 
In collaboration with Muse Arts Lab
 

The Virtual-Analog Synthesis (SVA) framework investigates the convergence of immersive digital environments and tactile public art through a "material-discursive practice". Developed through four months of iterative studio probing using the Meta Quest 3S and SketchAR, this approach moves beyond digital drafting to treat the virtual space as a primary site for "aesthetic inquiry". By synthesizing the spatial freedom of VR with the physical constraints of muralism, the SVA method facilitates a unique form of "embodied knowledge". This art-s research based projec allows artistst to navigate complex scale and perspective in a 360-degree virtual field before translating that "virtual ghost" into a physical "analog reality." Grounded in arts-based research (ABR), SVA positions the creative process as a bridge between "compositional risk-taking" and the sensory engagement of traditional painting.
