I am still on the way to understand oriental aesthetics and contemporary sculpture arts. But trying to express the implication of oriental aesthetics to viewers with my work is also one of the goals I sought. My work is always not that explicit; one of the main aspects of it is that I take a reserved form but do not aim to formalize. This aspect probably contains some elements of oriental aesthetic traditions and the way of thinking in the East. For example, opening and closing; reunion and separation；virtual and real;  sparse and dense; complex and simple; dynamic and static; rigid and flexible; curved and straight; concave and convex; black and white; thick and pale; raw and cooked; insight and gradual enlightenment; observing images and tasting images; observation and understanding... the latter is not only the media communication between heaven and earth, it also describes that human desires to explore nature. For example, a child witha natural spirit is walking across the bamboo house that is floating on top of the forest. This house looks like a cloud, and it meets the natural spirit of the child.

Sculptures are built in public spaces. Therefore sculptures and the outside environment get influenced by each other. Sculptures are redefined, and its meaning is also expanded by the environment. People are the main objects of the place and space, from this perspective, if we pay more attention to public space and place, which means we also give more attention to human beings. Publicity means association, communication and interaction.
