    Communication and interactivity play an important role in my work. Since I am coming from a marginal culture, Cantonese culture, and since I currently also have a marginal position; I have a German passport, but I am living in Paris and traveling everywhere, communication and interactivity have become a kind of habit for me. Further, I believe that movement is important for culture, as it can create unforeseen elements. I received a Socialist education, which means that the notion of serving the people is still very much alive in my thoughts, even in my unconscious.

I think the attitude of participation in society and life is crucial to art. Art is not only a form, but also an expression of fashion, beauty or sex. For me, such participation is highly sexy and exciting.
