Patriarchy is system in which male has the dominant power in a society. Patriarchy is not anyone. It is not he, she, or them. Patriarchy is an “it”. It is a system maintained by people’s generational participation, passing down from fathers to sons. Patriarchy also relies on the least resistance in the system itself, just like the self-evident rules in the game Monopy Kirk, 90) It is not enough to blame on one or a group of people for participating in patriarchy. The question we should ask instead is: what kind of society helps to perpetuate this system? What are the visible and invisible patterns of patriarcal ideologies that we take into our uncounciousness on daily basis?

One could both be a provider of care and a reciver of others’ care. Everyone needs care to survive, and everyone needs care to thrive.

Care work is the work that invloves providing support for people who needs special help.

Most of the care work that we see on a daily basis is unpaid, and it’s usually done by women.

According to ecnmy.org, women around the world spend two to ten times more time than men doing unpaid care work.

Because the system of patriarchy, like other socially constructred systems, operates upon least resistance, it has the power to strenthen itself perpetuately as long as there are more people participating in it than people taking the effort to go beyond the least resistance. However, because it is a socially constructed system are we are social beings, we can’t simply get out of the system. The only thing we need and can do is to decide how we participate in it. (Johnson).

Although many people assumes that we could use the term “gen der” and “sex” interchangeably, those two words are not the same. In most countries around the world, we assign sex to new born baby based on their genitalia. We assume babies to be either girl or a boy, either male or female. However, therre are also in tersex babies that don’t fit into the male/female sex binary. Those babies accounts for about 1-2% of the new born population in the U.S.(planned parenthood.org).

The Story of Gender

we see gender and boy. However, the of possibilities. On person can be both noun.

A theoretical framework that study gender-related inequality with other systems of oppression (Kirk, 33). Kirk argues in the introduction to intersectionality that “an intersectional approach is central to women’s and gender studies”(34). Intersectionality aims to highlight the complexity of facing multiple layers of oppresion. For instance, an African American woman’s struggle is not the same as a white woman’s. Besides race, other layers of identity, like class, sexual orientation, gender, nationality, class, sexual orientation, gender, nationality, etc. Using an intersectional framwork means that we acknowledge people’s both/and identities and focus on seeing the overlapping areas of their struggles as a result of their complex identity. When one is so differnt from the mythical social norms, it only make sense we use this framework to unpack the multiplicity of their struggles and help each other to create a more equitable future.

It is defined as the attributes or behaviors that people often associate with male charaters. Masculinity is socially constructed. It is a mask that boys are often asked to put on since early years of their childhood. They are not allowed to cry or they will be deemed as being like a girl. Toxic masculinity are often linked to violent behaviors and heteronormative ideologies.

In this graphic, I am trying to imagine what a healthy masculinity looks like.

It can be both rigid like steel and soft like silk. It is not constrained by socially constructed ideologies, (like gendered colors) thus it is free.

I want to see a world in which men are proud to be care givers for their familes and are encouraged to express their emotions.

In this project, designed a pavilion for waterfront activities at Berkeley Aquatic Park. My design intervention focused on seeing the connection between land and water activities. Throughout the process, we incorporated both hand drawing and digital media. learned basic skills in design thinking and spatial analysis through this summer program and found my passion in landscape architecture.

The Flip Side

Language: English, Mandarin

Type: Personal work.

Date: September,2018

In this project, chose to investigated the leftover landscape in urban environments, specifically, the space underneath urban overpasses. My intention was to create a space for community gathering, a space where people can pause for a moment in a part of the city defined by speed (underneath the overpass).

Braiding Intimacy, Weaving Animacy

A bilingual, interactive zine exploring major topics in Gender and Sexuality studies.

Type: Studio Project, LARCH 401

Instructors: Julie Parrett, Jean Ni

Date: Fall, 2021

Key Words: Sensory Landscape, Landscape Choreography.

Project Statement

I was interested in understanding the invisible intimacy between people and trees in Ravenna Park Seattle, Washington. Trees, especially those in old-grown forests, embody the history of the site. They grow spaces in both visual and invisible ways, weaving relationships above and underneath the ground, within and beyond our multiple layers of perceptions. Their existence provides shelters for humans and more than human beings. They shape communities for both the past, the present, and the yet to come.

Throughout this intimate journey with trees, I will invite my audiences to capture the signals along the trajectory through gathering tactile, olfactory, and visual senses around the tree trunk, branches, leaves, and eventually, through entering and touching the wet ground.
