“Through using organic forms and natural materials in my art works, I want to establish a particular connection between nature and human beings on the one hand, the self, and the outside world on the other hand. The human body and nature drive me to explore the boundaries of different worlds using synaesthesia and intuition. Through the creation of works, I transform my strong emotions and mysterious sensations into entities, and lead everyone to capture the fragments of the invisible worlds that pass by.”

"The reality and illusion of beauty have come from nature, and nature endows beauty with all its symbols. Beauty exists both in the past, and in the future."
