Dimension: 16" x 20" This project is about technology improvements. I did this piece because I want to express the idea of not letting technology to control the world. The two robots represent the high-tech elements that has been put into our life. Even though people think improving technology can make life better, it will also bring negative effects for human beings. As shown in the first robot, there are nails which represent the danger that technology will bring to people. The appearance of the first robot is like bombs, which can also represent danger. The second robot seems messy. This is a reference that when technology is too good, it will mess up and even make life worse. In addition, I painted the background all red and all yellow. These two colour symbolize dangers and warnings. Moreover, I photoshop the background into different colours in order to symbolize the variety of troubles resulting from the dangers. In life there are real examples such as people are gradually losing the ability to spell words correctly, because of the improvement of spelling check on the mobile phones.
Dimension: 16" X 20" In this drawing, I intend to explore the technique of using colour pencil crayons. I tried to explore the relationship between higher, middle, and lower class within the society. I tried to define these groups through various objects. However, later I discovered that one cannot classify the social ladder with objects, because everyone has overlapping desires. Therefore, this drawing is an experimental attempt to answer such relation.
Dimension: 16" X 20" In this piece of drawing, I want to show my technical ability by exploring pointillism using fine liner. I choose to draw walnut because it has many folded layers and different textures, which enable me to practice and strengthen ability to illustrate a complicated object.
Dimension: 20" X 28" X 13" In this project, I want to show my idea of escaping from restriction. This project is based on a grand piano model. In life, when we play piano, we need to follow each note to produce a good musical piece. However, I want to say that we do not need to consider rules and restrictions. We need to follow our heart and open ourselves to infinite possibilities.
Dimension: This project is about beauty. I did this piece in order to show my understanding of the definition of beauty. I used beads to decorate the chandelier to represent the outer beauty of human beings. In life, make-ups, clothes etc. can be considered as outer beauty of people. The background, which takes place in a forest, represents the inner beauty of human being: the original, good, and true beauty in which all human beings are born with. Even though the chandelier looks beautiful and breathtaking, it seems very insignificant in comparison to the nature background. Just like in our society, people's make-ups and clothes seem not important compare to their inner personality. In now a days, people use too many things to cover themselves. Therefore, they lose themselves. In this project, I want to say that no matter how beautiful or gorgeous one looks like, the internal beauty is the most important.

Dimension: Project BackgroundDancing Light is a light playground that connects people and light together. It locates at George Wainborn Park, where many young adults and kids will go after work and school. At evening, there is no light in the park. The visibility is low. Therefore, my idea is to bring these people lightn and let them enjoy playing during night time. Dancing Light includes three different functions of light— Sensible Follower, Rainbow Road, and Eco Lamp. The Analytical Movement Diagram explores the movement of running specifically. After some transformations, I come out with a concept of “light catch running people.” Therefore I have the idea of Sensible Follower and Rainbow Road. InspirationSensible Follower can follow moving objects when they are moving on the grass. There are four light balls on each lamp. Each light ball follows one object. The black board is a solar cell, which absorbs energy during the day time. Sensible Follower is mainly designed for kids and dogs. First, kids like to run, but most of their parents are not able to catch them. In the darkness, the parents are more worried about their children. Therefore, Sensible Follower
can follow kids when they are running, so that they become visible in the darkness. In addition, kids are interested in light. Sensible Follower not only solves the problem for children parents, but also let them enjoy running and playing on the grass. It is same as the dogs. When there are more moving objects, it also can bring a Light Show for the people living in the tall apartments beside the park. Rainbow Road, which locates at the S curve path on the right side of the park, only lights up when objects move by. This is a LED light which helps people to see the path clearly. The colours of the light are same as rainbow, which also bring good mood for people. The black cover is solar cell. It can store energy for the night. Eco Lamp is a normal lamp which lights up during night time. Its energy comes from each solar cell on the top of the lamp. Eco Lamp brings brightness for people during the night time. People feel safer under the light. Project HIGHLIGHT
