This photo was taken in an apartment where I used to live for over three years. I like to capture moments when I notice elderly people wearing outfits with quirky or unusual patterns.At the time, this lady was waiting for the elevator with me, and I took this shot discreetly. |

Mini Moment: Elevator Theater is an interactive exploration of how we inhabit shared spaces and express ourselves through body language and behavior. This project invites participants to reflect on their own experiences in the elevator, a small but intimate environment that often brings out different aspects of our personalities. |

Taking βCantinaβ as a space, I transformed it into a nail salon, here many of the nail technicians are Asian women who give the space a unique energy in their daily labour. By applying nail polish, sharing daily stories, and creating a mixed walk map, I invite participants to experience the β nearbyβ feeling and to express their personal and collective experiences of the β nearbyβ in this alienated space. |

Each time I step into an elevator, I will smile at everyoneβa simple yet often overlooked gesture. This is an experiment to observe how such a small action can transform the atmosphere in a confined, shared space. I will carefully document peopleβs reactions as I carry out this practice.
The aim is to explore proximityβwhat happens when we intentionally allow ourselves to be seen and acknowledge others during fleeting moments of shared presence. Elevators serve as a micro-theater of everyday life, and in this unscripted performance, I take on the role of the Sunflower.

In a fictional country, an unintelligible language will be spoken, a dice-rolling mechanism will be used to randomly assign identities, and the challenges faced by players will vary according to their assigned identities. These challenges will integrate my thesis findings, including exploring the daily lives of my female βinternet neighboursβ through personal interviews and data collection from Chinese social media.
