I am enthusiastic for mystery of the nature and the indigenous culture rooted into ancient China. In the fusion of Chinese ancient culture and nature, I felt a strength of deep, heavy, and Eastern charm. I attempted to demonstrate a real and brand-new self by fusing my feeling and my work.

In this work, I used the Chinese guqin as my creation theme, and the feeling of guqin music to create the form of the joining part of my work. I tried to send the feeling of ‘faraway’ like that in ancient guqin music the High Mountains, Flowing Water to enrich the moral of my work through a simplified shape of modern guqin.
