Artist Statement

As an artist deeply rooted in Chinese culture, I am dedicated to animating the Chinese artifacts housed in the British Museum through innovative character design. Each selected artifact embodies a rich narrative and history as a muse for my work. By intertwining these tales, I craft a dialog that spans centuries, narrating traditional stories through a contemporary lens. These artifacts resonate deeply with my cultural identity, fueling my artistic pursuits. Their historical significance and aesthetic allure are powerful catalysts for my creativity. Through my art, I strive to illuminate the vibrancy and narratives inherent in these treasured heritages, fostering a bridge for cross-cultural understanding and appreciation.
