Chang regards the ocean as a worldview reflecting the current terrestrial civilization of Anthropocene and regards water as a medium penetrating everything from the inner to the outer worlds and embodying the unstable state of transition, flow and anti-subjectivity corresponding to his homeland Taiwan under subtropical monsoon climate. His art deals with those rapid-changing environments like ships, islands, water as well as ports, in which he tries to unveil the universal experiences and grey areas inside the tensions amid human, civilization, and nature constantly shaping each other. His artworks are usually realized based on a core narrative text or by means of storytelling, and integrate with keen craftsmanship in multiple forms and media, as well as site-specific projects and workshops etc. Chang states art as an initiative to promote the maritime culture in public education and knowledge systems worldwide, and he was the co-founder of alternative art space Waley Art in western Taipei and is the co-founder of the art education platform Studio Floatel.
