Hi, I am a London-based animation director, storyboard artist, 2D & stop-motion animator, and illustration artist from China.
In my artistic practice, I draw inspiration from personal experiences, social psychology, and philosophy. My work spans various mediums, encompassing live-action, 2D animation, stop-motion animation, motion graphics, and installation. Viewing my creations as a healing process, I engage in a dialogue with viewers by dissecting memories and exploring the self.
As an Asian artist, my creations are deeply influenced by my own encounters and social psychological phenomena in East Asia, delving into themes like the great mother family structure, pathological symbiosis, and giant baby psychology. Reflecting on these issues from my unique perspective involves a self-dissection, and I consider my creative process akin to psychoanalysis. I firmly believe that art serves as the most direct and sincere form of expression, fostering a spiritual connection between the viewer and myself. Identifying as a storyteller, I actively explore the intersection between animation and narrative, extending beyond traditional boundaries.
Rather than confining myself to the realm of traditional animation, I integrate diverse media like live-action and installation into my works, challenging the linear narrative logic. At the core of my creative endeavors lies the sincere expression and transmission of emotions.
