我自稱為自然科學藝術家並希望利用藝術和科學的知識和技能來展示自然的美學。我認為藝術和自然科學能互補，因為它們可以從不同的、非標準的角度來應對挑戰。我喜歡發現自然科學和藝術之間的多面向聯繫，並希望介紹這些聯繫給大眾，所以我以生物形態學風格創作雕塑和家具。
I call myself an artist of natural science. I aim to use artistic and scientific knowledge and skills to visualize the aesthetic facets of nature. I consider art and natural science complementary since they help each other to put challenges from a different, not standard, angle. I adore discovering the multifaceted connections between natural science and art and want to make these connections visible to a broad audience. I create sculptures and furniture in a biomorphic style.

由於對自然資源的盲目使用，我們面臨著嚴重的問題，如物種滅絕。而色彩
繽紛的箭毒蛙擁有令人讚嘆的外表，可以象徵著我們為了過度使用資源而作出的犧牲。作品中的Ranitomeya uakarii是一種小型箭毐蛙（約15.4毫米長），
廣泛分布於巴西西部和秘魯東部的亞馬遜河、雅瓦里河和烏卡亞利河之間。
這件雕塑詳細反映了牠的外部結構和色彩，並以可持續材料製作而成。
Ranitomeya uakarii is one of the small dart poison frogs (about 15.4 mm in length) habitats widely in western Brazil and eastern Peru between the Ríos Amazonas, Javari, and Ucayali. Through the thoughtless use of natural resources, we face serious problems, such as species extinction. Colourful poison dart frogs, whose outward appearance is worthy of admiration, could symbolize our sacrifice in the name of irrational use of resources. This sculpture reflects in detail the external anatomy and colouration of Ranitomeya uakarii using sustainable materials.

這些物種的美麗之處。
Lantern bugs are one of the largest insects in existence and are found mainly in Southeast Asia. Their wings’ pattern attracts collectors. My realistic sculpture is an analogy aimed at demonstrating the beauty of these species without the need to kill them.
