Cai Guo-Qiang was born in 1957 in Quanzhou City, Fujian Province, China. Trained in stage design at the Shanghai Theatre Academy, his work has since crossed multiple mediums within art, including drawing, video and performance art. While living in Japan from 1986 to 1995, he explored the properties of gunpowder in his drawings, an inquiry that eventually led to his experimentation with explosives on a massive scale and to the development of his signature explosion events, exemplified in the series Projects for Extraterrestrials. Wildly poetic and ambitious at their core, these events aim to establish an exchange between viewers and the larger universe around them. His large-scale installations, which have drawn upon Eastern philosophy and contemporary social issues as a conceptual basis, utilize a site-specific approach to culture and history. Cai quickly achieved international prominence during his residence in Japan. Since 1995, he has lived in New York.

These days I am finding myself constantly picking up blue denim from my wardrobe. From dark to 80s stone washed denim. Some people may think that denim is not a very "friendly" material compared to our everyday comfy cotton that we roll around in. But this season, denim comes with a smile. Yes, we are talking about those soft denim. Some are so soft and "lazy" looking you can almost be best pal with them for quite sometime^^ Enjoy~
Big bags are always a hot favourite among all breathing humans. This season, abit of a change (not everyone will agree on this though). From our darling Celine to the modest Hermes and not forgetting our trendy Chanel, they all have their own version of "lunch boxes". Some want it simple while others want a touch of cuteness. Which spells your name, you decide? ^^
What inspire you today? Well, for us its definitely this exhibition in NYDC. Its been along time since we stepped into an exhibition that made us "WOW". Even though we wish and hope that we can be there end of this year to catch this show, for now, we can only get the best out of this video. EnjoyXX
