"Growing up at my grandparent’s farm in Taoyuan, Taiwan, I had a tremendous curiosity and [sense of ] wonder while exploring nature. Throughout my life, I’ve been fascinated by how complex and diverse nature is and by the belief that there is an infinite unknown in this world waiting 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 subconsciousness and further developed into bizarre dreams that opened a door to another hidden dimension."
