Walking around and listening carefully to the sounds around us, I observe the changes on this earth. The sunlight sprinkled on the ground plants with reflections gently falling on the ground, the reflections on the windows secretly recording every moment, plants and buildings reflected in the water gradually gather and spread out to form a vortex that gently takes negative thoughts away. From the initial instability to the final stabilization of nature and the city, their energies and magnetic fields are closely intertwined, singing of their balance, a balance that is slow and hard to come by. After I explored nature and the city I began to think about how to look deeper into the world, and I noticed shadows that many would overlook. I divided my exploratory journey into three directions, the water, the ground, and the architectural surface.

Growing up I was always concerned with the underprivileged so in this project, I used my abstract symbols from nature and the city to reconstruct a stable world with a sense of security to heal people suffering from panic attacks.

I use the variation of light and shadow in different environments to create patterns and combine them with different materials. I tried different fabrics, cotton, silk, recycled PVC, nylon, etc. After comparing them, I decided to use silk and recycled PVC, as silk is more transparent and PVC creates different light and shadow effects. I cut and dyed the recycled PVC by laser cutting and combined it with the fabric to create an abstract light and shadow effect by transmitting the light through the fabric. At the same time, I use mono print to transfer the abstract pattern I created onto the fabric.

I put together a large number of images and reassembled them using abstract and figurative painting, each image seems to be one, but separately it becomes itself. Just like the water, the ground and the buildings seem to be different elements but together they are a complete world.
