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.

The smells of Star

What do stars smell like? Inspired by The Little Prince and childhood wonder, The Smell of Stars imagines the scent of the cosmos—gunpowder, ozone, burning metal—and transforms it into texture, form, and emotion. Burned fabrics mimic the intensity of space, while smoky gradient sequins, delicate lace, and sculptural boning reflect the shimmer and structure of the universe. Each piece is a poetic journey through memory, curiosity, and imagination. Wear the stars. Feel the story.
