I am a social cultural anthropologist interested in how people engage with uncertainty, difference, and nonhuman life in rapidly changing urban environments. My research examines the social, semiotic, and institutional conditions under which knowledge, ethical relations, and ecological attachments take shape. Grounded in long-term ethnographic fieldwork and archival research in East Asia, my work brings together questions of human–nonhuman entanglement, environmental governance, and sensory and aesthetic mediation. I approach anthropology as a relational and critical practice, attuned to how people inhabit unstable worlds—negotiating partial perspectives, infrastructural gaps, and emergent forms of coexistence. A second project extends these concerns into the semiotics of scientific and aesthetic representation, exploring how visual forms mediate between knowledge and perception. It asks how signs of life are rendered affectively and epistemologically meaningful at the intersection of art and science, and how such mediations shape the way we relate to more-than-human world.
