\n\nBorn in 1982, Kaohsiung, Taiwan, Wang studied Applied Drama and Theater at the National Taiwan University of Arts. She currently works as an artist, singer-songwriter and composer, and is keen to explore a range of creative projects. Recently she is interested in experimenting with the dialogue between sound and the body: how the visual can actualize the inner spaces of the hearing, how the landscape of musical beauty is presented in and between the lines of the verse. Music to her is to explore what is yet to be known in linear time, and simultaneously, a call to the lineage of being. She looks forward to continuing her creative processes and artistic search in different corners of the world, to capture the everyday moments and being in life. Using poetry and sound as the carrier of intercultural dialogue, it is Wang's yearning that she first becomes a listener to the other and a listener to the world above all of her musical pursuits.
