As a designer and researcher, she actively engages in mental health communities, focusing on how individuals can embody their experiences while witnessing, create while observing, care while being cared for, change while being changed.

As an artist, she translates system complexity to its spiritual dimensions. Working across painting, installation, film, and scriptwriting, she explores nonlinear time and captures moments when systems subtly reveal themselves in everyday life.

张之弦长期关注精神健康问题在复杂社会系统中的脉络，探究现代精神困扰如何同时具有个人和公共双重属性。她作为设计师与研究者，以多重身份长期参与精神健康社群活动。她关注个人如何见证的同时具身实践，在观察的同时进行创作，受关怀的同时去关怀，被改变的同时去改变。

 

此外，张之弦是一名创作者，她的创作关注系统复杂性其本身，以及其中衍生出的灵性世界。她的创作媒介不限于绘画，装置艺术，影像以及剧本写作。她在创作中探索非线性时间的可能性，着眼于复杂系统在日常生活中现身的瞬间。
