One way I express my personality is through my fashion, such as customizing my clothes. These sneakers were originally white, offering a generic, blank canvas, which inspired me to paint them as colorful as possible. 

The designs are asymmetrical because I like to find harmony among differences. Balance does not have to be achieved only through conforming to identicalness. To express my style, I incorporated elements from my other artworks like Asian nature symbolism, which also reflects my heritage.  While the intention of painting my shoes was to make them distinct to me, I organized elements based on the nature of shoes: I wear them to move and to travel. Thus, the left, red shoe depicts emotion, and the right, blue shoe depicts imagination, two elements accompanying me as I navigate life.
