“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. “

“我希望运用自然有机的形态和材料,建立起有关人类与自然、自我和外部世界之间奇异的关联。人体和自然之物驱使着我使用通感和直觉探索着不同世界的边界。通过作品的创作,我把自身强烈的情感和神秘性感应转换成了实体,并带领大家捕捉那些一闪而过的不可视世界的碎片。 ”
