Artist Statement:
I like to create characters and architectures with drawing and 3D-Modeling. And my favorite style are the combination of Retro and Technology. For example, Steampunk is a virtual world where steam technology reaches the peak, but people's costumes are in Victorian style. Nostalgic and retro style with sense of science and technology seems very very romantic for me. People cannot ignore history, since it left a variety of marks to the life.
City Statement:
The main theme of my city is to combine traditional architecture with modern technology. For example, the light rail is crossing through old buildings. And religion add mystery into the city. For that part, I referred to Kyoto, Japan. I looked through many temples and shrines, and created one with torii, and traditional lantern. But not the whole city is divine, it also has abandoned factories, factory and hold-on houses. They contradict
each other, but also mutual dependent on each other. Life is not utopian fairy tale, so I want my work to reflect the contradictions and the reality.
