Born in Taipei, now lives and works in Taipei
Everything in this world transforms in a circle, as the time passes and the earth turns around; seemingly different things are connected in some ways. If so, how about transformation of people's feelings toward things and events? "The Tropical Work" is based on this question, dealing with environment, temperatures, feelings and experiences. Thus, in Taiwan, I made my first snowman. – says Wang Ya-Hui.
