Age 21, born in Virginia, Kai spent her younger years living with her grandparents and family in the Hong Kong countryside. It is through this strong sense of family and her Chinese heritage that nurtured an appreciation of nature that developed the notions that inform Kai as an emerging artist today. She now lives in the DC area. Her main focus for her residency was Lost Wax Casting.
As part of her residency, SilverWorks arranged an immersive experience at a local apiary.
