Paper Cuts

衍纸系列 2022

VOID

Each piece is individually handcrafted rather than reproduced, so each pattern may vary slightly.

I couldn’t resist creating a new series again. It's already been five years since I first began conceptualizing the Heaven's Secret series and decided to use paper as the primary material. Although I majored in Western painting, I’ve always felt a deep affinity for paper—it carries a quiet elegance, reminiscent of classical Eastern culture. In my exploration of more expressive possibilities, I came across the art of quilling and decided to start a new series using this technique.

People often advise me to establish a consistent style. From a promotional standpoint, it’s true that having a unified style and recognizable visual symbols helps to reinforce an artist’s identity. But I find that idea unsettling. To me, style should be a natural reflection of one's character—not something fixed to a specific theme, material, image, or color palette. Wouldn’t that be terribly dull?

If I must define a style, perhaps mine is meticulousness—careful attention to every detail, from material and tools to the production process and presentation. I strive to achieve the highest quality within my ability—after all, I still see myself as someone who produces artworks.
