Feixue Mei's work challenges social norms through cultural production, exploring how social media and online platforms shape cultural identities and facilitate community building, especially for marginalized groups. She creates conceptual, iconic imagery influenced by internet culture, animation, comics, Surrealism, and Chinese folk art, weaving narratives that explore themes like the Asian diaspora, fluid identity, otherness, and community struggles.
Her practice has earned awards from IDA, Graphis, American Illustration, and others.

She has chaired and presented at numerous international conferences, including CAA and SECAC.
