"My creative themes this year focus on the search for the origin and essence of life, which include 'The Glittering Color Series', 'The Cell Series' and 'The Character Series'. The origins of my creation are my thoughts and my life's inspirations. The different life experiences and thoughts are recorded faithfully on my works. I am very honored to be invited by Koru-hk.com Contemporary Art and Page One Taipei to exhibit my works. I wish my works would not only bring visual enjoyment but also inspiration to the visitors."



"The cell is the basic building block of life. Its purity and beauty are fascinating. The cell is also special because it is an extension of life. I want people to be touched by cells and to contemplate how these tiny things are the sources of life. 'The Cell Series' represents the essence of life. This series features bubbles that represent the atmosphere when the creative ideas are conceived, and the texture of the cells from which life begins."



"I like the simplicity and silence that one feels when one is practicing Chinese calligraphy. I believe that Chinese characters are the world's most beautiful writing system. They are full of imagination and images, and they carry the wisdom of our ancestors. In my work, the legibility of the characters is not the focus; instead, I seek to present a symbolic image that the public will appreciate. The characters used reflect my experience and my passion for life."



"The 'Character Series' demonstrates the linear beauty of Chinese characters, the refinement of the polished glass, and light's refraction through the glass. The 'Character series' presents my view on life and my expectations. The characters are etched on the round glass vessels. Although nothing is put into the vessels, they carry a certain artistic weight."



"In my creations, glass is the material I use, the glass-blowing pipe my pen, the grinding machines my carving knife, and the sandblaster my trimming knife."
