RESEARCH ABSTRACT: Paper is a material that is not easy to mix colors with each other. XUE tried various folding and curling methods to find a method that can express gradient colors, and finally made this rolled paper work break the paper's restrictions on gradient colors. A large number of bright colors are used to express the complexity of the world, and the calm faces under the colors represent the calm state of mind in the flashy world.
CHALLENGE: Xue always try to develop a technique that has never been used by anyone before and creates different visual effects. Because paper is a material that cannot be mixed as easily as paints, so she need to try various folding and curling methods to achieve the desired color gradient and contrast effect.It is both tough and soft. she always challenge all the possibilities of paper, to complete seemingly impossible tasks.
