Tradition and Modernity

'Modernity' does not necessarily mean abandoning 'tradition'.

"The greatest perfection is like imperfection, and yet its use is imperishable; The greatest abundance seems empty,
and yet its use is inexhaustible."
Laozi, Tao Te Ching, Chapter 41

To inherit and develop the profound and enduring traditional Chinese culture to meet the needs of today and avoid losing autonomy and self-identity in the tide of globalization, it is necessary to grasp and utilize the vital elements in tradition to create original works.

The essence of Confucianism, Taoism, and Buddhism, inherited from tradition, is my starting point to explore the new spirit of traditional Chinese culture. Taking nature as the essence, tradition as the backbone, and contemporary expression as the form, I seek to establish entities from abstraction, seek rules in changes, explore new ways of expression in architecture and artistic creation, and inspire more conceptual reconsiderations. In the journey of exploration, confidence in
traditional Chinese culture is essential.

 The Highest Virtue is Like Water

"The highest virtue is like water. Water benefits all things without contention. It stays in places that people dislike. Therefore, it is close to the Tao (the Way)." Laozi, Tao Te Ching, Chapter 8

Water,

nurtures all life, with the most primitive forms of life beginning in water.

Simple elements evolve regularly into various complex life forms.

Water,

sometimes boiling hot,

sometimes freezing into ice.

Sometimes calmly residing at low points,

sometimes transforming into clouds.

Water,

the way of nature,

acts selflessly,

extremely soft yet strong,

able to accommodate and be vast.

Water gives me endless inspiration and enlightenment for creation.

 Freedom and Vitality

The freedom and vitality of life are the most fundamental aspects of human nature.

Freedom and exuberance, this essence is the
beauty of life.

I take freedom and vitality as the starting point of creation, pursuing a kind of beauty that expresses freedom and exuberance, as well as a universal aesthetic language beyond geographical boundaries. 

Harmony in Diversity

Emotion and reason, tradition and modernity, abstraction and concreteness, Eastern thoughts and Western science, subjective perception, and objective analysis...

In the concept and expression of creation, opposing elements intertwine and merge, coexisting, which is my attempt and exploration in architecture and artistic creation.

The uniqueness of Hong Kong lies in its intersection of different things, where various activities converge, different cultures communicate, and practical objects or intangible concepts overlap, with the key being integration and coexistence. Hong Kong's distinctive characteristics have always been the source of my design concepts.

Art for Ordinary People

I believe that 'art' should be a part of ordinary people's daily lives today, and I am committed to integrating artistic elements into design, hoping to blend 'art' into the daily lives of ordinary people through design.

I created 'Digital Shui Mo', materializing the information from the virtual world and representing it on paper in the real world, becoming abstract digital ink wash paintings. With 'Digital Shui Mo', I reflect and explore Chinese thoughts and forms of expression,
regardless of the outcome.

Junzi - Man of Virtue

"Just as celestial bodies never cease their orbits, Junzi should always be striving for self-improvement.

‘Kun’ represents the receptive, nurturing and yielding qualities of the earth. Junzi should cultivate virtue and integrity to carry the weight of their actions and interactions with others." I Ching

I am passionate about architecture and artistic creation, firmly believing that love for creation is not limited by environment or geography. I hope to continue creating with the same enthusiasm and joy in the future and maintain the passion for originality!
