This ceramic series transforms archaeological discoveries into an exploration of contemporary identity. By echoing the handcrafted traces of artisans from millennia past, and integrating Han Dynasty jars with the form of kneeling, raised-hand figurines, these works create “narrative vessels” for dialogue with ancestors.
The artist and ancestors achieve a cross-temporal collaboration, answering the fundamental questions of identity: "Who am I?" and "Where do I come from?"

In this space-time constructed from clay, I confirmed our identities through the pressure of my fingertips, and defined my own place and significance in the long river of history.
Where I End, Where We Begin 2
It will be more than just an object; it will be a field that carries actions and time.
I have created a powerful visual language to answer my research question: my identity exists in the "here and now" as I engage in a creative dialogue with history.
