I served as the curatorial lead, defining the exhibition’s narrative direction and designing the core concepts and interactions
for all six installations. The physical execution of each piece was carried out by different creators in the team.
Cleaning in Progress” reframes the post-pandemic transition as an active design process—a moment when individuals and society must reorganize emotional residue, redefine boundaries, and rebuild connection.
The exhibition uses sensory and spatial experiences to guide visitors through a cycle of acknowledging tension, surfacing suppressed feelings, and re-entering life with renewed emotional clarity.
Metaphors of cleaning and bubbles serve as a framework for transformation: from residue → release → reformation.
The exhibition spans from the library lawn to the underground level—an open field where emotions are released like floating bubbles, leading into a transformed basement designed as an oversized
bathroom. This spatial transition guides visitors from external cleansing to internal reflection and emotional renewal.
A walk-in bubble installation where visitors write hidden emotions with invisible and colored pens, turning private feelings into a collective, visible imprint.
An upward-narrowing bamboo chamber that invites visitors to lie down and gaze at the sky, offering a quiet moment of pause within a fast-paced campus.
A washing machine with a screen revealing its internal rotation, metaphorically reflecting how society cycles and reshapes individuals.
Adhesive tape collects facial traces to visualize intimacy and tension across different relationships.
A shower installation that transforms voice volume into bubbles, making emotion visibly take form.
This piece recreates a messy dining table using cleaning tools, using this role reversal to question the norms and habits that shape our sense of order.
We concluded the two-week exhibition with a nighttime bubble party attended by over a thousand participants—symbolically cleansing the campus and welcoming a renewed collective spirit in the post-pandemic era.
