I respect glass as a material, and don't want to control it. I try to talk to the glass and
understand it; merge with it to achieve an utterly harmonious connection between my heart and the material.

The process of glass melting resembles that of alchemy, with its highly fluid medium transforming in the flames through calcination, fusion, solidification, sublimation, oxidation, separation, and combination. The creator's imagination, creativity, spiritual thoughts, and craftsmanship skills blend seamlessly, gradually revealing the hidden brilliance and profound mystery of the world. Through the metamorphosis of form and the deep alignment of spirit, the artist ultimately forges a pure sense of self.
