Born in 1989, MANIHOO graduated from the College of Art at Chinese Culture University in 2011. She specializes in creating with collage and scrawling in conjunction with multimedia, such as national bank notes and LED lights. She wishes to present a world with modern people’s innocent heart. Her artwork is full of her personal notation and symbols; and her creativity in combining various imageries to tone up the visual effects demonstrates a young generation’s fantasy and mindful observation of the society.

Although young, MANIHOO has partaken in various social roles: student, performer, radio show host, volunteer, Buddhist practitioner, and of course, artist. All of these experiences have become inspirations of her creation and cultivated her ability to empathize with others. In her artworks, one can therefore see a young girl’s maturity and witty sensibility. The art of using money, for example, is made clear in her creation collaged with bank notes issued by various nations. As to her LED-characteristic creations, the idea is to add warmth to transform the icy technology, the LED lights, into an art of glamour, youth, and vitality.
