Overview

Studio Sansui [山水] is a project exploring multilingual stories and print media across cultures. The name Sansui is a reflection of the mountains and seas that have coexisted closely in the natural landscape of the many places I’ve called home.

Studio Sansui has participated in events such as the East Bay Print Sale, Meet Me in Chinatown, and Moon Market.
