Abstract
In 1991, I was born in Shunde, Guangdong, China. My past 25 years, is not too complicated but also not so simple. I progressed a little bit every day and that is my life. So far, there are three things that are bonding in my life: Languages, Programming and Art. Born and raised in Guangdong, China, Cantonese is my mother language. Later I learned and used Mandarin, since primary school. When I was 6, English walked into my life and became my first foreign language. It gave me an opportunity to make contact with books, music, and movies in English. I started to realize that languages broaden my eye view. Then I met my first foreign teacher. He is from Puerto Rico and I learned Spanish from him. It’s been a few years since I first went to Paris but I still remember the taste of Crème Brûlée. Later I met my French teacher and began my journey in French. I always had a crush on symbols and totems so I tried to learn Arabic. My purpose to learn languages is straightforward. I want to know what other people think toward different specific objects or from which perspectives they see things. Languages open a new gateway to approach objects in order to know them more. To me, art is a language as well, a point of view for observation, a method for investigation, a way for self-expression.
