I am from China and currently reside in Chicago. I hope that my work can convey certain values, with an emphasis on environmental issues. I’ve been on the go since I was a child (Guangzhou, Canada, Hong Kong, and the US). I had grown up in a concrete and steel city with limited access to nature, so I had a profound appreciation for nature. In recent years, I have had the opportunity to view breathtaking landscapes around the world, which has increased my concern for environmental protection. I’ve focused on bacteria and algae, wondering how to leverage their properties to create something that is more eco-friendly. Furthermore, I paid close attention to and studied the different relationships between humans and non-humans.
