Tin is obsessed with food, nature, crafts, culture heritages and anthropology.
She cooks, eats, learns, plays and shares food with others.
Her experimentation with food often constructs sculptural presentation in all sorts of containers. Sometimes private, sometimes collective and sometimes fused with everything.
A container for storytelling. A container that keeps the sense of time. Containers that carry the weight of history and a bite of the recipe she made.
Containers that she makes using natural materials: artmaking is her way of communicating with nature, her small world carefully woven in a larger one.
Her work is not only about the making of the objects, but the presentation is also part of the making.
Like objects worn by the body, identity becomes physical.
Objects made from food, a spoonful of her feelings and sensitivities.
Objects that contain the soothing and caring healing power of emotion.
Objects that are delicate and gentle, yet strong and long-lasting in a tin can.
She is Tin.

Tin痴迷于食物、自然、手工艺、文化传承和人类学。
她做菜、吃饭、学习、玩耍，也和他人分享食物。
她经常在各种容器中经过雕刻化的呈现进行和食物的实验。有时是私人的，有时是群体的，有时是与一切融合在一起的。
一个讲故事的容器。一个保存时间感的容器。容器，承载着历史的重量和一口她做的配方。
容器是她使用自然材料制作的：艺术创作是她与自然沟通的方式，她的小世界被小心翼翼地编织在一个更大的世界里。
她的作品不仅是关于物品的制作，呈现也是制作的一部分。
就像身体穿戴的物品一样，身份变成了实物。
由食物制成的物体，有一勺勺她的感觉和敏感。
包含着情感的抚慰和关怀的治愈力的物品。
物品，在锡罐中细腻温柔，却又坚强隽永。
她是Tin。
