How else does your Chinese heritage serve as a source of inspiration?  
"Life is my inspiration. I love traditional Chinese philosophy and culture. My work is complex and it matches the faces of our era; it’s Eastern and Western; it’s neither mainstream nor anti-mainstream; it’s the past, the present, and the future; it’s tacky and elegant. This is all achieved through a combination of 'hardware' from ancient Chinese culture and 'software' from modern Western culture."
