In the creation of ceramics, clay, as one of the oldest materials, always seems to convey some kind of ancient message and reverie. Looking at the clay in front of me, my thoughts take me back to the empty state before the germination of consciousness. I imagined the moment when the first cell in the world appeared. From a simple cellular pattern, I hear the most primitive rhythms and structures formed by division. They converged into an ocean, giving all material forms and possibilities. There is a thing floating endlessly in this chaotic world. it's a sigh of the earth.
