︎MAITRI


creative therapy project



For 2 months, I turned the balcony of the Beijing courtyard I was living in into a healing space filled with positive Qi. The positive Qi is generated by each special object in the space as well as the individuals in it. During this time period, I invited 10+ guests into the space. Through physically being in the space as well as doing guided activities, the guests discarded their negative energies and recharged with positive ones.

Qi is an eastern concept that describes dynamic forces or flows of energy that exist throughout the universe. The project was motivated by the following questions: Can positive Qi be manually created? How can I use Qi to heal? Do they only exist in physical objects or can Qi also exist in virtual objects?
