I was born in Hunan, one of the birthplaces of Chinese Nuo culture. Since childhood, I have been fascinated by this region's rich history and cultural heritage. Nuo culture, an integral part of China’s intangible cultural heritage, is deeply rooted here. During my first museum visit, the ancient Nuo masks greatly inspired and moved me. Originating from agricultural societies, Nuo masks were worn to pray for favorable weather and abundant harvests, serving as mediators between humans and nature.
To achieve the desired design effects in my work, I continuously experiment with various chasing techniques and carefully select suitable tools. I strive to depict the profound connection between humanity and nature through hammering and chasing intricate patterns and intertwining lines. My aim is to merge traditional craftsmanship with modern design, promoting and preserving intangible cultural heritage through my art, enabling more people to understand and appreciate this culture
