STATEMENT
I’m a 3D artist and digital filmmaker whose passion lies at the intersection of aesthetics and information expression within the visual realm, while creating human-centred and research-driven designs.
My work aims to discuss current social justice through virtual methods. Growing up in Inner Mongolia, China, I personally witnessed the impact of climate change and ethnic assimilation policies on people’s lives, but also how design and narrative successfully intervened at various scales. As part of a marginalized group that has been migrating, I possess a keen sense of empathy. My subsequent eight years of living and studying in Beijing shaped my research methods and critical thinking from a global perspective. These experiences have profoundly grounded my belief in the power of design.
My personal and academic background drives my creative endeavours. During my journey in Los Angeles, I am committed to question and solve the multifaceted challenges posed by our environment, society, and culture. By my experiences and insights, I strive to contribute a narrative to the design field—one that not only captures the essence of our interconnected world but also serves as a catalyst for positive transformation. At its core, my artistic journey is an exploration of the delicate dance between technology and humanity, sparking greater discussion and seeking innovative solutions that resonate with the needs of individuals and society at large.
我是一名3D艺术家兼数字电影制作人，我的热情在于视觉领域内美学和信息表达的交叉，同时创造以人为中心和研究导向的设计。
我的作品旨在通过虚拟的方式讨论当下的社会公正。我在中国内蒙古长大，亲眼目睹了气候变化和民族同化政策对人们生活的影响，同时也见证了在不同的尺度上，设计和叙事如何成功地对其进行干预。 作为一直迁移的边缘群体的一部分，带着敏感的共情能力，之后在北京8年的生活学习塑造了我全球视角的研究方式和辩证批判。这些经历让我对设计的力量产生了根深蒂固的信念。
这些个人和专业背景推动了我的学术和创造性努力。我怀着热切的愿望在洛杉矶开展工作，质疑并解决我们的环境、社会和文化带来的多方面挑战。通过整合我的经验和见解，我努力为设计叙事做出贡献，这种叙事不仅抓住了我们互联世界的本质，而且成为积极变革的催化剂。从本质上讲，我的艺术之旅是对技术与人性之间微妙舞蹈的探索，引发更多的讨论并寻求与个人和整个社会的需求产生共鸣的创新解决方案。
