Zhuohan Xu/ Aurora/ Born in 2009/ Senior at Shenzhen Middle School

My curiosity runs wide in many directions, so I've ended up working across multiple media. Photography, graphic, painting, sculpture, architecture...

I'm into quite a lot ball sports, basketball, soccer, table tennis, billiards, badminton... you name it. It's empowering in some ways, bestows me diverse perspectives and provokes my thinking on gender roles through my complicated experience in sport communities. I've gone no-bra for almost a year now and it hasn't really affected my sport performace. A lot of the 3D work in “My Voice” catalog comes directly out of things I noticed and lived through as an athlete first and an artist second.

Besides self-expression, I like putting skill and creativity I have for the people around me. “My Practice” is basically a dumping ground for everything I've designed for my school community.

Some other things about me: I woud describe myself as warm on the outside and colder underneath. I enjoy solitude. I think in tangents. I like high saturated colors and dye my hair whatever color I currently like. Occasionally I'm more cynical than I'd like to admit, and under those cases I just wanted to be a pumpkin.
