Rooted in illustration and visual arts, Yulong develops his work through personal interpretation rather than a macro or sociological lens. He draws inspiration from existing artworks and histories, responding intuitively to what resonates with him rather than constructing conceptual narratives from a distance.

Recently exploring ceramics, Yulong became interested in how ceramic history reflects cultural mobility and exchange, such as the Middle Eastern origins of blue-and-white porcelain pigments and their influence on Chinese motifs. During his time in Krakow, museum objects and local folk crafts further shaped his perspective, revealing how similar colors can carry very different visual and cultural meanings.

This series presents imagined ceramic tableware that merges these observations with Yulong’s own illustrative language, positioning everyday objects as a space where personal memory, cross-cultural reference, and artistic expression quietly intersect.
