I consider myself as an artwork made of Chinese and Australian elements. A cross and mix between distant territories with different hues. An anomaly to culture and a product of freedom. My Australian roots gave me the liberty to express myself.

Growing up with freedom allowed me to be curious. I yearned for the other half of my identity. My skin color has a shade of yellow, and it is a constant reminder of what else I am made of. I hungered for the Yin to my Yang.

I discovered who I am by expressing it through art. My Chinese heritage is rich in tradition. It has a lot of representation—a lot of symbolism. I was reconnected to nature: the flowers, the rivers, and many of earth's existential wonders.

I stepped back in time, and I was opened to a soulful discovery. China's silence, Zen, and natural beauty is a refreshing contrast to today's fast-paced and high-tech lifestyle. My art represents my peculiarity. My mixed races' opposing nature is shown by the contrasting pieces and colors using ink and acrylic. My passion for rekindling my Chinese heritage inspires my work. While the liberty to express by painting nude bodies is in respect to my unbound Australian upbringing.

My story is reflected in my art. My work, as well as myself, combines tradition and freedom.
