All the rich people collect traditional Chinese art. So it's very natural for Chinese families to still see art as the highest human performance and send their children to this field.

We move so fast that memory is something we can only grasp

We have to give our opinion, we have to say something, or we are a part of it. As an artist I am forced to say something.

The fantasy we had with pearls was always so luxurious and unique with a kind of rareness.

I also have to speak out for people around me who are afraid, who think it is not worth it or who have totally given up hope. So I want to set an example: you can do it and this is OK, to speak out.

Once you've tasted freedom, it stays in your heart...

I have to find a place for my own. I have to search for my own happiness.
