Princess of Eight Treasures reimagines a little-known folktale of a Dutch woman turned Taiwanese goddess,   fusing colonial histories with queer transformation. Across multiple iterations—including an NFT series, a shrine   installation with projected holograms, and a live audio-visual performance—the project acts as a migratory ritual   that shifts mediums while retaining its core mythic energy.  

  At its heart is a gender-fluid journey that unfolds through drag, movement, and ritual: from soft, nostalgic gestures   and Taiwanese folk melodies to a radical rebirth as a male spirit medium. A jockstrap filled with rice is cut open—  symbolizing both colonial extraction and the spilling of memory—while AI-generated narration and glitchy video   collages conjure fragmented ghosts of trade, history, and longing.  

  Rather than seeking to retell a fixed myth, the work transforms it into a living space of speculation and embodiment,   where personal and ancestral stories dissolve into performance. Over time, the themes and visual language of   Princess of Eight Treasures grew into a new project, Acht, which expands this research into collective   memory, folklore, and machine logic.
