"Growing up at my grandparent’s farm in Taoyuan, Taiwan, I had a tremendous curiosity and wonder while exploring nature. Throughout my life, I’ve always been fascinated by how complex and diverse the nature is, and the belief that there is an innite unknown in this world awaits to be discovered. As a natural response, I began to draw the parts of the world I had seen along with my imagination. Thus, these images imprinted on my sub-consciousness and further developed into bizarre dreams that opened a door to another hidden dimension."
