"If international audiences see these works, understand them, and love them, then that means your culture has been transmitted."

Yang has visited several glass producers in Zibo, one of the most important historical centers for Chinese ceramics and glassworks, expecting to find new inspirations for her own works.

"Holding this exhibition in Zibo with such a deep craft tradition symbolizes contemporary liuli art's reunion with history and culture," she says.

"Here, people look at liuli not just with appreciation, but with understanding. It feels like coming home."
