About
Art and fashion are not just a visual delight but also a resonance of the soul. As an artist dedicated to merging these two realms, I aim to break cultural boundaries through my works, allowing more people to feel the power and beauty. My creative inspiration stems from cultural traditions around the world, and I am committed to telling the unique stories of these cultures through the language of modern art.
In my artistic journey, I have continuously explored various materials and techniques, drawing inspiration from classical oil painting to digital media art. Each attempt is a challenge to tradition and an exploration of modern expression. I believe art has the power to connect different people, conveying emotions and ideas that transcend time and space.
Looking to the future, I plan to create more works that integrate different cultural elements. This is not just a plan for artistic creation but also a social mission aimed at promoting cultural exchange and understanding. Through my works, I hope to build a platform for cultural dialogue, making art not just a decoration of life but a catalyst for thought and a source of enlightenment for the soul.
In this series of works, I am dedicated to breaking traditional gender stereotypes through various means, creating a unique collection themed around "gender." My philosophy is to avoid judging others through a conventional lens, emphasizing the fluidity and diversity of gender. I have discarded the existing gender-neutral design approaches, as well as the androgynous styles and colors prevalent in the market. Instead, I use a combination of hard and soft materials to convey my understanding of "gender." Hard resin and soft yarn become the primary materials, symbolizing the multi-layered and rich nature of gender. This striking contrast in materials not only reflects the resilience and strength of gender but also communicates my profound contemplation on gender diversity.
