The Story of Antiques is a project about the antiques of China. I always find myself attracted to Chinese antiques, for the material, the texture, the shapes and artistic beauty of them. In these drawings, I tried to translate the old antiques with a new way of appreciation. The objects are from different dynasties across the range of thousands of years. I created a brand new story about them, revealing the mystery veil of the life, culture and legends about ancient China.
