Shan's work employs sound as a medium to explore the potential of listening in generating intimate, immense and multi-sensory perception that touches on the unconsciousness. She approaches the act of listening as a form of auditory alchemy, seeking to dissolve the boundaries between material vibration and psychological perception, investigating themes of sonic spatial structure and bringing attention to aural awareness.

The forms of her practice range from sound installations, live performances, sound walk, and recorded music. Her work has an experimental approach that engage with acoustic instrument, environmental sound, digital generated signals, and the inaudible frequencies to explore hidden potential in all sounds. By collecting and interpreting these enigmatic sounds, she treats them as the primary materials for spiritual and sonic transmutation, and produce structured sound pieces to explore how the state of unconsciousness can be induced by the materiality of sound making.

Central to her work is the creation of contemplative listening environments and senses related to spatial property of sound. She craft performances and recorded music as "listening rooms" designed for gathered, inclusive focus. These spaces function as vessels, inviting the audience to engage in a process of transcendence and revelation, where the physical properties of sound, the sensitivity, and hidden information are experienced as a singular, unified reality.
