The Era of Synergy
Being born in Shanghai and growing up in California, both the rich Chinese history and contemporary American culture had big influence on me. After graduating from UC Berkeley, I travelled to ancient Chinese villages to explore the deep rooted heritage that has amazed and inspired me, but is little known to our modern societies. I started to draw inspiration from eastern philosophy (handcrafts), the great nature, and poetry, mixing with contemporary visual and techniques, and explores the common ground between art, nature, and culture. Today, we and all human arrive at the point where synergy across all fields (human, art, organizations, culture etc)  is much needed than we have achieved, where I am determined to devote my lifelong career in working under synergy and to bring my works onto the world stage.
