Huixian Huang's artistic practice examines multiple ways of the expression of visual art concerning individual phenomenological experience and perception of time. Her work encompasses sculptures, installations, ready-made objects, still and moving images. All those creates a certain kind of poetic, day-dreaming atmosphere to invite viewers to join the site-specific immersion of wide-ranging imagination of time.

Built upon the knowledge of Merleau-Ponty’s phenomenology, she tries to explore various possibilities of artistic methods about how the concept of phenomenal time in a bodily or conscious state can be reflected in a tangible world around us, to evoke to think of the meaning of life and time to human. The site-specific immersion or interaction with the objects, the projection of light and images, implying a certain form of the act of presenting, sensing, memorizing, and perceiving, play an important role in her artistic examination.

At the current stage, the artist attempts to employ the rhythm of the change of light and views of natural environment to form a structure of a certain kind of symbolic and poetic narrative. Furthermore, her work applies the aesthetic of the literary expression from novels, poems, and films to enrich the on-site installation, which she called "a one-off lived experience".
