A hypnotic vision of feminine power, drawn from ancient symbols and personal mythologies.
Your Sanctuary to Regeneration is an immersive animated installation that imagines the divine feminine, pinpointing and challenging centuries of patriarchal dominance in religious and cultural narratives. Through a cyclical and meditative journey, the work assembles a visual patchwork of ancient symbols, Venus figurines, sacred geometry, and fertility idols to evoke what can be seen as a powerful image of feminine creation and regeneration.

Rooted in BA thesis research and personal exploration, the project draws on a deep visual archive to build a space for contemplation. It pulls the feminine away from the constraints of monotheistic and patriarchal frameworks towards the historical narrative and embodiment of goddess-worship.

Every element loops and pulses in harmony, forming a continuous motion that speaks to rebirth and ritual. In a world of chaos and systemic violence against women, this piece seeks to carve out a sanctuary. Working with large-scale projection mapping and vivid, dreamlike animation, it transforms physical space into a story-world that is both spiritual and intimate.

Your Sanctuary to Regeneration was a first exploration into installation work, conceptualised, developed, animated, and constructed in collaboration with teammate Ying Zeng. It stands to explore immersive art as a site for introspection, embodiment, and collective healing.
