I left science, then I went into art, but I approach things very analytically. I choose to pursue both art and architecture as completely separate fields rather than merging them.

When I was very little, we would get letters from China, in Chinese, and they' be censored. We were a very insular little family.

The role of art in society differs for every artist.

To fly, we have to have resistance. It's all about turbulence. Reacting to images of wave patterns in fluid motion.
