She has been an instructor at the Rhode Island School of Design in the Digital + Media department and Furniture department. Her expansive curiosity and sensitivity drive her to seek free artistic expression, both in form and content. Through her multidisciplinary background, she explores installation, experimental film, photography, sound, and the connections between them. Hu embraces these toolkits to embody the intricate relationship between technology and fading spirituality in the modern era.
Her work has been exhibited as part of ‘It's Time to Reduce the Backlog’ at Latitude Gallery in New York, ‘Séance Fiction’ in the Pfizer building, New York, ‘Transitory Void’ at Cyberart Gallery in Boston, MA, and 'Resurrection’ in the Factory Gallery, London.

Artist Statement
My work stems from a simple wish: to revitalize the intangible, visualize the imperceptible, and give volume to the inaudible. In my interdisciplinary art practice, I make installations, experimental film, and photography to embody the intricate relationship between technology, mysticism and fading spirituality. I focus on non-human life and modalities of empathy to investigate the coevolution of objects, species, and space.
I have always thought of the world as something without a defined center. In my world there is not a single species or inner voice at the helm. My world is less anthropocentric. Part of making my perceived world is to highlight the imperceptible through a poetic lens. My current exploration with ice is an extension of my ongoing dialogue with this imperceptible world, a dialogue that revolves around the quiet, profound interconnectedness of all things.

艺术家陈述
我的作品源于一个简单的愿望：为不可见、不可闻、不可感之物赋形。在跨学科的实践中，我通过创作装置、实验电影和摄影作品来体现技术、神秘主义和正在消逝的灵性之间的复杂关系。我专注于探索人类与非人类之间的潜在交流，研究物、物种、空间之间的协同进化。我认为世界没有确定的中心，没有单一的物种或内在声音作为主导。我试图通过诗意的镜头和强调传统感知外的体验来表达我眼中“去人类中心化”的世界。我目前对冰的探索是我与这个不易察觉的世界持续对话的延伸，这种对话围绕着万物间安静、深刻的相互联系。
