'Why did I create the Living World Series? That was because I thought I needed to carve some things from the life……The Living World Series is more connected to life, and the approach to make it is closer to the free flowing philosophy of modern sculpture. That's why Living World Series allows me to explore freely; it is completely self-absorbed and free of any baggages…… With the Living World Series, I can work with wood, foam rubber, plaster, or even dough. I can do whatever I want, whether using stainless steel or illustrations, or bundled ropes. Such an approach embodies the spirit of modern sculpture and is part of the spirit of modern living.'
