Mosaic Cat (Maomao) began her Shibari journey in Taiwan in 2017, immersing herself in both classical Japanese traditions and contemporary European techniques. After returning to Shanghai in 2019, she became an active force in the rope community, organizing workshops, curating events, and nurturing a growing network of rope practitioners. To date, she has taught over 500 students and performed in more than 70 Shibari shows. Her style is marked by precision, versatility, and a drive for continuous innovation. Seamlessly blending rope with narrative, experimental performance, and installation art, Maomao ensures that each of her presentations delivers something new, challenging expectations and expanding the possibilities of rope as an artistic medium. Beyond performance, she creates rope-based installations and photographic artworks that have been exhibited in cities throughout China, as well as in Germany and the UK. Her artistic voice navigates a compelling space between tradition and experimentation, offering work that is both rooted and radically original.

The performance is carried out using thin, long bamboo rods and chopsticks, which are commonly used by Asians for eating. We have incorporated these elements into our Shibari performance. After the performance, we will share some thoughts on the use of short bamboo rods and chopsticks in Shibari.
