Artist Statement
My work is a reflection of my soul’s journey through time and space, from the ancient myths of Guizhou to the digital landscapes of contemporary Los Angeles. This artistic odyssey captures the essence of animistic traditions and modern technological realms, blending them into narratives that challenge conventional anthropocentric perspectives.
By embracing premodern mythology rooted in pantheism and animism, I seek to dismantle traditional masculine narratives and offer a non-human perspective that reveals the interconnectedness of all life forms within the biosphere. My visual storytelling explores the tension between life and death, rejecting the portrayal of nature as disenchanted and isolated. Instead, I create immersive experiences that highlight the deep symbiosis between organic and artificial worlds.
Through digital animation and architectural principles, my work is not only aesthetically captivating but also intellectually provocative—encouraging viewers to reconsider their relationship with both the natural world and the constructed environments around them. By integrating mythological symbolism with cutting-edge digital techniques, I aim to foster a deeper appreciation for our place within the global ecosystem, promoting a vision of harmonious coexistence between humanity and the environment.
