Human Relationships have become a huge concern for me since I left Hong Kong, thus I am looking for a way out with the struggle of leaving home town and going to the second home through ceramics. I began to concentrate on the connections and disconnection of my relationships. To express my feelings through exploring forms, colours and texture of my pieces.
