In the life of modern young people, metaphysics is no longer a 'superstition', but a way of dialogue with the heart, some people use horoscopes to analyse their emotions, others use tarot cards to guide their way. Chinese metaphysics also provides a way to explore oneself.

My makeup and hairstyle design is based on the concept of 'face/hair is destiny', combining elements of metaphysics such as bagua, incantations, face reading, fortune telling, etc., to make make make-up and hairstyle a kind of divination, an expression of one's own state, and to symbolise different destinies through make-up and hairstyle, so that everyone can find his/her own trajectory in the mirror.
