Muchen Zhou
I am an interdisciplinary artist working with craft processes and materials, photography, printmaking, and moving image across physical and digital media. My practice explores how diasporic experiences shape belonging, opening spaces for reflection and connection. Alongside this, I experiment with materials to reimagine everyday objects and our relationships with them.
