Story: I wanted to challenge myself with creating visual representations of important Chinese cultures and practices.

 "....intangible cultural heritage is an important factor in maintaining cultural diversity in the face of growing globalization. An understanding of the intangible cultural heritage of different communities helps with intercultural dialogue, and encourages mutual respect for other ways of life."
