Linhuei Chen’s nomadic practice explores migration, environmental change, and cultural transformation through a hybrid lens. Working across painting, participatory projects, and field research, Chen treats humans, non-humans, ecological systems, and cultural symbols as co-agents in constructing alternative worldviews.

Chen's work evolved from personal migration experiences to a speculative framework where planetary environmental change positions all humans as potential migrants. Inspired by Dutch dune ecosystems, she conducts ecological fieldwork integrating empirical observations with participatory knowledge gathered through board games and workshops. Drawing from Asian and Western painting traditions, Chen creates hybrid iconographies where scientific data, cultural memory, and speculative imagination generate new questions about coexistence.
