a piece of creative work prior to uni - Since I didn't do any creative arts subject in high school, I had a hard time trying to find my own small projects. I found this image though, a simple A5-size collage I did for a friend's birthday card. The grid creates quite a nice effect, and perfect round cut-outs that make up the tree are of course made using a hole-puncher.
an inspiring image of a building - Several years ago, I was bewildered by the computer-generated image of an odd, hollow building, which looks like it's going to topple over very soon. I couldn't take that image completely off my head, and it grows to be a most inspiring one; what follows is that I become a fan of the architect, Rem Koolhaas. Up till now the building, the new China CCTV Building, is still in construction.
an original image of something beautiful - The Aussie bean ball tree is a house-warming gift from a friend. I love the exposed fat round beans that grows into such a sturdy and leafy structure, something that reminds me of Jack and the beanstalk (without any particular reason). The way the plant reminds us of its humble beginnings makes it unique, unlike other plants which have their seeds hidden away under the ground.
