Technically, the project combines laser cutting, 3D modeling, and mixed fabrication techniques, merging digital precision with handcrafted artistry to create a distinct visual language.

“The ‘Grid World’ series is a manifestation of my unique exploration and deep affection for the art of grid patterns. In this series, the grid is no longer a simple design, but rather a unique perspective for deconstructing objects and examining the world. Grid patterns can be the accumulation of pixels, the assembly of mosaics, or the interweaving of stripes, collectively forming a world brimming with infinite possibilities.
In this series of works, I treat the grid pattern as a fundamental element, deconstructing, reassembling, and innovating it to reveal the diversity and unity of all things in the world. The grid has become a vehicle for my observation of the world, expression of emotions, and conveyance of thoughts. Here, the grid is no longer monotonous repetition but a vibrant symbol of art.”
