Oriental philosophy is the enlightenment of my aesthetics. I was influenced and inspired a lot when I tried to seek the essence of aesthetics in it. And I realized aesthetics is related to everything, from human emotion to the universe — it’s all about coexistence, connections, and reincarnation. This complexity makes no standard answer and leads me to self-cognition.

For me, furniture design is a way to seek and express oneself. The pursuit of my design is more than “usable”, but the “experience”, hoping to resonate with more people through my work. Therefore, the core of the design is being honest to express myself, whether it is good or bad.

The design is based on sensibility; most of the time I start my design directly with the clay-kneading when there is an inspiration flashes or a mood swings, without a sketch. My thoughts and sense of the moment, either joy or sorrow, affect the strength and trace on the clay.

Benefit from the material feature of fiberglass, all the traces on the clay model are perfectly retained and copied onto the works. Different feelings are presented to different people when they see the final shape of the design. It functioned like a resonator; the feeling from people who see my design is a kind of echo of my emotions.
