Can you tell us a little bit about your background and how you came to leave China I was born as a human on this planet in China. I still think that I was really lucky to land in China which has an amazing history and stories and also a lot of problems. That warm land can always bring you both inspiration and worry. I studied sculpture at the Institute of Fine Arts there, but I dropped out of collage one year before I finished the degree. I lived there as an artist that was deemed to a vagabond. I left China because I fell in love with a girl who lives in South Africa, she is also an artist that likes to hit the streets, her artist name is Faith47.
How much are you influenced by Chinese cultural identity and how much have you found your own hybrids If you go to China, you can see that the new China is breaking down the old Chinese culture, just as they are breaking down all the beautiful traditional Chinese architecture. The Chinese of my generation are growing up with a degenerate Chinese culture and
a variation of western culture . I am finding out how much nutrition is in the old Chinese cultural and eastern philosophy as I get older and older. I like to say that I am influenced by them, but I am also finding out they are really deep, so I only can say I am starting to be influenced. I like to make my own hybrids as a big cup to fill up, but use simple and light way to express.
