DI: Could you please tell us more about your art and design background? What made you become an artist/designer? Have you always wanted to be a designer?
LJ : I have had a strong interest in art since I was young, and I enjoy painting, sculpture, and handicrafts. As I grow older, I realize that art is not just a personal expression, but also a way to communicate and interact with others. So, I began to explore and express my understanding and ideas about urban space through art. In the process of learning, I came into contact with public art, which fascinated me. Public art not only has aesthetic value, but also can bring vitality and cultural atmosphere to urban space. I want to create art works that can interact and exchange with the public through my own efforts, injecting new vitality and vitality into urban spaces.
