I am passionate about exploring the interplay between nature, craft, and well-being. My work usually inspired by the landscape I saw in the world, while my idea is inspired by traditional Chinese literati landscape art and William Morris idea. Through these pieces, I delve into the concept of self-cultivation, inviting audiences to connect deeply with the tactile qualities of my craft.
