The story begins

Every piece of work led me to where I am today. Here are some of my 'first'. I value them as much as the rest.

This is my first masterpiece. It was a ceramic class in my high school and I really wanted to go to the restroom. The end.

I had my first digital work during college. I wanted to achieve more at that time, no matter what it would take.

Before graduation, I started to prepare for my grad school application. I was thrilled by the future excitement, but also concerned about my family. I started to miss where I live, and everything happened there.

During preparation, I photographed many of my work. It was at that time that I found the sound of the shutter very fascinating(annoying). So I made my first sound piece for fun.

 
 
 
 

My dream major for grad school had always been new media art. Having seen so many works of different forms from internet and museums, I couldn't help creating my first interactive work.

Metamorphosis tells a story about growth. We kept changing until we are satisfied with whom we are.

I had a lot of fun in the digital world, but I was also eager to build something outside of the screen, something real.

OUT is a line art in 3d space. It concludes my emotion during the whole process of grad school application.

In 2013, I came to U.S for my grad school. Everything I see, hear, and experience becomes new source of inspiration.

The story continues.
