▲ In the realm of creation, having drive is more critical than talent. Because only when driven forward by motivation can we find the direction of our creation and achieve our goals.

 

●  Understand that while talent is indeed important, it is not the sole key  ● 

Motivation, the flame within us, is the source of our continuous exploration. It is precisely because of a strong motivation that we can persist in the face of difficulties, constantly surpass ourselves, and create more astonishing works.ㅤㅤㅤ

 

Today, I want to share our insights with you. I want to say that for newcomers stepping into the world of creation, motivation may be the most essential tool you need, because the stronger your motivation, the closer your goal will be. Do you understand what you want, what kind of artist you want to be, what is your inner passion for art, and are you curious about the unknown world of art? Do you love your work? We believe that whichever it is, it will be an indispensable driving force on our creative journey.

For us, the original intention of creation is to inherit and carry forward the excellent traditional culture, using paper-cut art as a medium to combine tradition with modernity, presenting audiences with a brand-new artistic experience. We hope that through our creation, more people can understand and love paper-cut art, and that this traditional craft can be more widely disseminated and developed.

And our motivation is not just to create a beautiful piece of artwork — it's to convey meaningful blessings and positive energy. Every creation we make reflects our love for life and our pursuit of beauty. We sincerely hope our work brings joy and happiness into your life, and that through the intricate world of paper carving, you can feel endless warmth and grace.

Let’s take the Nine Koi Fish design as an example. Our decision to incorporate nine koi fish into this artwork is both a tribute to traditional culture and a continuation of the blessings it symbolizes .

In Chinese tradition, the nine koi fish are powerful symbols of wealth, prosperity, and happiness. Through the creation of this paper-carved Nine Koi Fish hanging piece, we hope to share our deep respect and passion for cultural heritage — and more importantly, to pass on a heartfelt wish for good fortune, abundance, and harmony to everyone who receives it.

Therefore, let us set aside the pursuit of talent and listen carefully to the voice within our hearts, finding the true motivation for our creation. Driven by motivation, we will surely create our own artistic world and bring more beauty and inspiration to the world.
