This conceptual series is inspired by Biblical stories from the books of Genesis and Ecclesiastes. This is an improvisation not in an illustrative way, but emphasizing on mystics, concept and philosophy of life.
"To everything there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven". There is a time to lose and a time to seek. What seeds we plant on our fields? What fruits will we harvest? Are we responsible for losing our own Paradise?
Everyone has his own answer to these questions.

• Biography
  Where is the line between truth and falsehood? Between illusion and reality? There’s a famous phrase - "Fiction reveals truth that reality obscures". Truthful fiction is the basis of my creative style. Fiction may not reflect the reality as we know it, yet conveys a deep, accurate and true message. I draw my inspiration from sources such as Renaissance paintings and allegories. I uses allegories to express her understanding of the world and talk about what's important to me today.
