"Culture is the foundation of design. When indigenous people question their existence, they may wish to look back to their cultural roots, which is an inspiring journey."

Description

My design inspiration comes from my hometown, Hualien, a free and pure land rich in literature and living monuments. Growing up in this land, I was deeply nourished by the culture, exploring the essence of tradition and breathing new life into it through design.

In my designs, I can see the dialog between totem and tailoring, hear the sound of cultural flow, and smell the breath of the land. This is not just design, but a sense and passion for culture, an exploration and sublimation of tradition.

Let the culture go out of Taiwan, let the world see the beauty and depth of this land.
