His work combines the power of design thinking with contemporary art strategies to address various urgent social issues including immigration, health disparity, queer rights etc. Through collaborating across disciplines and cultures, he has created participatory art installations exhibited in art institutions such as Weisman Art Museum, Walker Art Center, Minneapolis Institute of Art, as well as numerous public spaces and community centers both in the U.S. and China.  Recent projects include the NEA (National Endowment for the Arts) awarded research project on art, creativity, and adolescent mental health research (in collaboration with UMN School of Medicine); the tour exhibition Home of Memories (in collaboration with Iraqi and American Reconciliation Project); Shanghai International Paper Art Biennale at Fengxian Museum etc. He is also an educator currently working as an assistant professor at St Cloud State University in the U.S.  He co-founded CarryOn Homes – the artists collective investigating the experience of global migration. https://carryonhomes.com/
