Glass is full of paradoxical and magical substance, crystal clear, cold, hard, and fragile, originated from sand and dust, and attributed to crystal-like beauty. As a "container of light", she carries colorful dreams and exudes brilliant light.
In the art world of graffiti, everything can be created, in the process of giving life to the work, the creator not only regards glass as a material but as a visual expression of his understanding of the world. A poetic way of narrating reality, a language that reflects life, maintaining its uniqueness and independence. Constantly explore the spirit of glass contained in it.
Glass is never a synonym for fragility because it is strong enough, dare to perspective the real!

In today's world of consumerism, how do you view the statement that "street art has changed society and society has changed street art"?
Street art is a unique creative method that uses street language and methods to solve social public problems. It emphasises individual experiences and focuses on personal feelings; highlight the participation and dialogue with the society, pay attention to the overall change of the public! Both have influenced, blended and changed with the times.

With the increasing development of street culture today, street art has also opened up markets in contemporary art and fashion, how do you see the future development of street art?
Street art is visual art created in public places. It is usually recognized as a work of art. However, although it is a good thing to gradually move from the street to multiple fields, it still needs to maintain its original intention.

You have worked with many international brands, what value do you think the crossover can bring to artists?
This can make the dissemination of works more diversified

The Internet seems to have become a way to disseminate artwork that is different from traditional galleries and public spaces, and many people are "viewing art" through the Internet.
I think it's good that especially this year when the world has been hit by the pandemic. People haven't been able to go out for a long time. The internet can serve as a medium for art communication. Everyone can watch art exhibitions at home.
