About

Hello, I'm Kay.

I am a medical student in Canada. My interests include art, creative writing, coding, health innovation, nature, and personal development.

One of my greatest passions is to create, to breathe life into the seeds of thought that bloom in my mind. This slice of the Web is a portfolio of my past work, ranging from the artistic to the scientific.

I love ideas and good conversation! If you would like to chat, feel free to contact me through these platforms:

Projects

Student Spaceflight Experiments Program | 2014-2018
How do astronauts develop muscle atrophy? In a project launched to the International Space Station, we studied the impacts of microgravity on Caenorhabditis elegans. As one of my first forays into the research world, this experience ignited my interest in space and technology.

Ugly | 2017
My largest art project to date, Ugly is an Adobe Flash illustrated story about facades and conformity.

kay-wu.github.io | 2017
Throughout my childhood, I enjoyed designing websites. Years later, I created one that reflects who I am today.

Writing

Words, Wrods, Wdrso | May 2017
"I have things to say, and emotions bubbling at my throat, and the blood of Homo sapiens running through my veins, so why not now?"

66 Miles per Hour | May 2016
"He looked tranquil, as though he was asleep in a calm dream, if not for the soft red-violet blossoming across his body—the telltale sign of livor mortis."

Kaleidoscope Souls | February 2016
"We flocked together in that summer meadow, warm light shining upon our unloved skin and wildflowers tickling our ankles: our own blessed Elysium."

Bioluminescence | December 2015
"It was filled to the brim now with those lightning bugs, their gossamer wings twitching and their hypnotic yellow glow contested only by the firelight."

Little Blue | September 2015
"After fiddling with it for a while, I could finally see it: a lonely spot of bright white amongst the spattering of stars in the inky heavens."

The Keeper | March 2015
"One by one, the hundreds of lanterns in the sky dimmed like a trail of burnt-out stars, gradually returning the night to its empty, eternal darkness."
