Essay:

"I have been immersing myself in needlework world for a long time. I keep practicing and accumulate the experience of art quilting, combining art and life. Honestly, there are lots of happy colors in existence; lives could take in learning that they never thought about before. I drew a shape of my foot and went with Taiwan cotton prints in this piece. The small step represents my big step in life - to share this piece with quilt lovers overseas. The green beneath the foot would make a ripple with my steps. The enthusiasts love this land simultaneously, making more joy in lives. This is a sweet memory in my journey."
