Lei Xiaohan's creations primarily use camphor wood, which carries the forest scent and delicate carving marks that reflect the artist's deep memories of childhood. The images of embracing small animals in her works stem from her strong emotional connection to those early memories. Each unique carving seems to piece together fragments of her childhood, while the hand-chiseled details invite viewers into Lei's spiritual universe, exploring the vibrant and serene forest within her heart.
From a young age, Lei Xiaohan had a passion for comics, which nurtured her sensitive and delicate personality. For her, wood is not just a medium but also a lifelong companion, much like a close friend or family member. Through every stroke of paint and carving, she projects her inner emotions into the sculptures, creating an artistic force that transcends distance and social barriers. The feelings of loneliness and vulnerability are transformed into strength and trust in her work.
