Human Connectedness through Arts

Moving to a new place can be exciting and anxious, I'm fully with you!On the journey to make Taipei your new home, I help you to settle in emotionally supportive and nurturing while enjoying a couple of self-expressive arts with others.

Relocating to a new country is exciting and comes with different opportunities. However, settling in a country also comes with some challenges, in particular, your emotional readiness. Each person has their own reaction to moving. Some may become sad, happy, or sentimental. Others may experience decision fatigue.

My name is Elis Lin, I'm visual and socially-engaged artist focused on human connectedness and emotional wellbeing through artistic mediums. I want to accompany you on your journey to make Taipei your new home a bit easier and your emotional wellbeing taken care and nurtured through artistic approaches (drawing, music, body movement, mimic) and social interaction.

About E L I S

I'm socially-engaged artist currently working in Taiwan and Finland. My practice is focused on emotional social well-being and human connectedness through artistic approach (drawing, body movement, music, non-verbal communication). The aim is to give an opportunity to let people reconnect humanely regardless of age and race, empower each other and diminish loneliness, social isolation and depression, regaining a sense of belonging. While medications cure patients, relationships and human connectedness nurture our emotional well-being. Prevention Rather Than Treatment.
