Artist Statement

Face-Watcher, detail
copyright Zhao Qiangyun

"Every of us has a face. It is different because it smiles or is sad, virtuous or double-canted. We cannot well understand only by what we see in this fast developping world. It might be a bridge of our communication and also a puzzle of our dialog."

"But after hundreds of years, it is just a symbol that we can use to distinguish who is who. Therefore smile and be honest everyday. Then people might remember you."
