“Through my cross-cultural living experiences, I have come to understand that there are certain experiences and emotions that can be perceived and shared by all human beings. I am dedicated to seeking, capturing, and accurately representing these life experiences that transcend the barriers and limitations of Eastern and Western cultures through various experiments in graphic narration (both abstract and concrete). At the same time, I have been committed to exploring the expressive power of line, the fundamental language of drawing, in visual storytelling.”
