Born in Xi'an in 1994, Crystal KUNG was raised in Taipei and now is in her senior year in Shih Chien
University’s Department of Communications Design and specializes in 2D graphic design at the initial stage of
animation production. Most of the work is about people she has encountered or created.
Crystal had her first Wacom drawing board at the age of 16 and embarked on the journey of digital creation ever
since. She mostly taught herself how to paint.
Crystal's work leans toward western style, which makes her stand out among fellow artists in Taiwan, who follow
Japanese and Korean style as a mainstream.
Crystal KUNG is still exploring her own style and trying to establish distinctive characteristics. She is currently a
student and illustration artist and also working on comics creation.
The Little Drifter
Walkabout is an ancient activity. From myth to history, from saints to mortals, from East to West, this
practice has been a temptation, calling on young people (or people still with passion) from generation to
generation.
Sometimes, it is for search of the meaning of life, sometimes for self-fulfillment, and other times for
thinking, taking a break, or transforming. Over time, walkabout has become a romantic act that carries on
since ancient times until now.
Crystal Kung looks at all the cities and places she has visited from a young person’s perspective,
where foreigners come and go (or revisit years later) for different reasons. Their stories are like mime
performances that quietly invite us to a story about going walkabout.
The child that repeatedly appears in the six stories seems to remind those gone walkabout of all the good
things once owned or yet never lost.
The six places, in order, are: Tibet, New York, Xi'an, Xinjiang, Shanghai, Taipei.
