The resonance between Chinese antiques in foreign museums and my own experience of living in a non-native cultural environment. 

This project is dedicated to reproducing this process of understanding foreign cultures and combining them with the original culture, putting the Western archetype into the scenario of the Eastern culture, and interpreting it from my point of view. The key values for this collection are quality, storytelling, craftsmanship, innovation, and longevity.
