Kassy is an Ikebana practitioner trained in the Sogetsu school, holding a teacher’s diploma from Tokyo since 2025. Ikebana is the Japanese art of flower arrangement, grounded in attentiveness to line, space, movement, and the relationship between human and more-than-human life. Her practice centres on live, improvised Ikebana performance, where arranging becomes a way to explore memory, migration, and the everyday gestures through which a place becomes inhabitable.

Her Ikebana works have been exhibited internationally. Recent projects include:

• The Afterlife, the Many Lives (July - August 2026), a durational ikebana research project to be developed during the Trinacria Festival Residency in Sicily, Italy. The project reflects on the movements that continue to transform a landscape shaped by generational migration. Activated through ikebana gesture, the former parish church is reimagined as a space of gathering and reflection, where the afterlives of plants, places, and people reveal the many ways life continues through change.
• A Landscape of Elsewhere (March 2026), a live ikebana performance presented at the Southbank Centre as part of About Us! Artists’ Scratch Showcase, in collaboration with Counterpoints Arts and curated by Awate. The work explores climate change and displacement as interconnected conditions through embodied gestures of arranging, attention, and collective repair.
• Something to Be Lived In (For Now) (February 2026), an ikebana-led improvisational performance presented at Chisenhale Dance Space as part of the Mind the Gap scratch night curated by Théïa Maldoom. The work explored temporality and provisional belonging through real-time composition with plant material and movement.
• Rooting Petals, Rooting Place (November 2025), an ikebana-based installation and live activation presented at Hoxton Hall as part of the Alternative Roots festival curated by Ming Strike and supported by Kakilang. The project examined diasporic memory through scent, plant migration and embodied participation.

Kassy is also a writer and editor with years of experience collaborating with migrant artists, and works as an advocate and facilitator, coordinating initiatives with underrepresented communities to foster inclusive and welcoming spaces. Her approach to community engagement is grounded in both lived experience and academic study, including an MA in Migration and Diaspora Studies from SOAS University of London.

當這些植物被重新組合為⼀件花道作品時， 它們同時也承載着關於移動、 記憶與⾝分的隱喻——⼀種既個⼈、 ⼜具有政治與歷史層次的敘事。When these plants are rearranged into a flower arrangement, they simultaneously carry metaphors about movement, memory, and identity—a narrative that is both personal and politically and historically significant. —— Ming Pao Hong Kong https://shorturl.at/qwgw0
