1
Studio ‘Work In Progress’ - 2022 Location: ACCA & Batman Park, Melbourne, Victoria This project delves into the concept of sitespecific installations and artwork, with a focus
3
on the historical dimensions of ACCA in South Bank. The project aims to rekindle awareness of pre-colonial ecology, bringing the river’s
5
vitality to life by harmonizing industrial and
4
natural ecosystems.
•
Provocation A uncovers the site’s
4
industrial era history, showcasing its layered past.
•
Provocation B seeks to honour the pre-colonial heritage of South Bank, previously a swampland prior to European
6
settlement. The resulting design features a pavilion with scaffolding infrastructure, stairs, and platforms hosting planter boxes of Indigenous plants, cultivated by artists and Indigenous practitioners.
•
Provocation C relocates the pavilion to Batman Park, Melbourne, adapting it to facilitate the growth of aquatic Indigenous plants that disperse native flora via the river’s network over time.

Designing Light Shade with Grasshopper & UR10 Robot
COMPUTER GUIDED CERAMIC LIGHTING
Specialisation - Sem 1 , 2022 Location: RMIT Building 100
This project uses computer programs (Rhino, Grasshopper, Robot Plugin) to print clay models with Robot UR10 and LUTUM Clay Extruder & Clay Canister. The iteration process uses stoneware clay to test different designs that allow light to enter through the prints. The final designed lamp shade is printed in porcelain and then fired. The lamp holder design is made of laser-cut acrylic 3mm sheet.

OTHERWORLDLY MISE-EN-SCENE
Major Research Project - 2023 Location: Otway Ranges & Bellbird Picnic Park, Victoria
This major project research “Otherworldly Mise-en-scene” aims to address awareness
Immersive filmmaking & interior design
about deforestation in the Otway Ranges and its impact on flying foxes. The outcome of this research is a project proposes an event called “Otherworldly Expedition: The Sentient City”, which encompasses an immersive theatre, VR experience, and speculative futuristic film, set to take place at Yarra Bend Park - Bellbird Road, Melbourne. My research framework explores mise-enscene, speculative futures, and assemblage thinking, aiming to understand how filmmaking and emerging technologies as well as multidisclipary practice in interior design contribute to environmental care. The immersive exhibition places the bat species at the center, delving into non-linear narrative practice, futurism, and assemblage thinking. AI technologies are introduced as a key collaborator in this futuristic environmental filmmaking project.
