Artiststatement Autobiography
Many of my works
involve Chinese Culture.
One of my dreams
is to be able to promote my culture
to all the audience from all over the world.
In order to communicate with my audience
in more visual way,
I use my skill of design and drawing
to show the information.
After six years studying in America,
I found it is very interesting to compare with
western's cultures and eastern's cultures.
My observation inspires me to work on the projects
that involves with culture issue.
I hope some time in the future
I will be able to make a project,
which will include not only my own culture,
but also what I have learned these years
about American culture.
And bring these messages back to Taiwan,
so that my country's people
will have chance
to learn from my experience.
