PRACTICE

Rooted in the philosophy of Sogetsu Ikebana, Leung's practice expands into an interdisciplinary language of performance, installation, and spatial intervention. She approaches Ikebana as a living and temporal process through which relationships between body, material, memory, and environment are continuously formed and transformed.

Working with botanical materials, found objects, sound, movement, and site-responsive environments. Leung creates ephemeral installations and performances that explore relationship between urban and natural systems. Organic matter, votive structures, found objects, and architectural space are composed into temporary arrangements that hover between cultivation and decay, ritual and improvisation.

Her performative Ikebana emerge as living archives of collective presence, where it evolves through time, material transformation, and audience encounter. The transient environments invite audiences to experience vulnerability, transformation, and interconnection as unfolding spatial experiences where the unseen and the impermanent become sites of connection.
