- Summary/Artist Statement
- This collection began with rediscovering my love for drawing as a limitless form of expression, that deepened during my tattoo apprenticeship where I inked mythological creatures like dragons. Reconnecting with my Chinese culture and the fortunes we believe in, inspired garments that embody that very same sense of empowerment.
- Look 2 Tattooist is inspired behind the artist's alter ego, the working hands behind the crafted work
- Artist Statement:
- I am a multidisciplinary artist with a lifelong passion for creation. As someone who was naturally reserved, I developed a strong connection to art as a form of self-expression. My work is driven by emotion and shaped through exploration across various mediums, allowing me to continuously evolve my creative voice.
