Lost and Found explores rediscovering and reconnecting with Hsieh’s childhood home in Taipei, Taiwan. The work immerses viewers in a "memory space" where translucent scrims form the contours of an imagined house. As viewers move through the installation, sound, projected animations, and light evoke the fragmented nature of childhood memories. Toy building blocks serve as both symbolic memory objects and tangible materials, reconstructing moments from the past. As a collective memory of play, the blocks embody cycles of construction and collapse, reflecting how memories are continually rebuilt and reimagined.
Lost and Found is first developed and presented at Automata Arts, Los Angeles with generous support from Mike Kelley Foundation.

An interactive toy block table invites viewers to "build the memory of childhood home,"
with the sounds of construction becoming a key element of the installation’s soundscape.
