I enjoy travelling and exploring the world. I also appreciate the wonderful nature in on the earth. A frozen moment I remembered, sitting next to Nyhavn and witnessing people passing by and the sky changing.
I sensed the sound of sea and volume from people, shops and restaurants. The moment was what I enjoyed and got inspired by the surroundings. Experiencing and seeing the world is what I believed to celebrate the little moment of my life.

The aim is to push the boundary between the extraordinary artworks and the ordinary shipping container. In this art gallery, adopting the entire gallery by compostable materials is the main concept to impress visitors that materials are humble and with gratitude, such as organically couloured hempcrete and Hempwood. Although there are world-renowned artworks still have not yet seen the sunlight but they deserve the natural treatment on their private show. The wood crate can be 100% compostable to our motherland and keep building the next private show.
