Qiyu Fu
About
My love for nature has always been the driving force and source of my creation. I like to capture all the fleeting beauty in nature and try to interact with it. In my opinion, nothing in the world is permanent, as the philosopher Heraclitus said, “You can’t step into the same river twice.” This change and passage are also the core of my creation. From beginning to end, I am obsessed with all beautiful and short-lived things and appreciate their transience.
On the other hand, personal growth experience and hobbies also have a great influence on my creation. Since I was a child, I have liked handicrafts, philosophy, and poetry. I often use a lot of handmade elements in my works. For example, embroidery, weaving, beading, etc. I like to combine natural materials with modern materials. For me, natural materials are flowing, while modern materials are stable, and I enjoy the contrast and collision between these materials. In addition, I hope that my works are interesting and relaxed. Therefore, in the creative process, I often do not focus on results, but let it go and express myself as I please. This also means that uncontrollable and unknown things often play an important role in my creation. I believe this freedom and fluidity gives my art a unique charm and vitality, making each work a true reflection of my inner world and thoughts.
