THE STORY

Throughout my creative processes, I always start out from the element of fun. The same applies to the current project; I went in the direction where I find merriment. I was inspired by the carving talents of the seal masters for the ‘Project Twelve’ Seal Collection and it urged me to make MicLAU into a petite and lovable creature which is easy to play with, like a seal. I’d like to make the project a balance between artistic endeavours and commercial viability. The giant MicLAU now placed on 1/F of Innocentre in Hong Kong with the Chinese character ‘rat’ engraved onto its buttocks is the witness of my creation which departed from the traditional art of seal carving.
