On the other hand, she regards clay as a matter that could nurtures lives; and also buries and decays lives; it also records the cycle of perpetuation and perish in lives. By taking ceramics as her major creative medium and showing favor to incorporating mixed media in works, she explored the triangular relationship between clay, material body and soul. The amazing phenomenon of how material body emerges memories, emotions and desires; how the chains of chemical reactions related with mind and soul have been the recurrent source of poetic imaginations of her works.
