Fang is always inspired by Nature and Taoist philosophy. Vanity is a series of works relating to incense, that the fragrant of the incense can be appreciated at the same time with the artworks. Fang said that “the basic idea of the Taoist philosophy is to enable us to realise that human life is only a tiny part of a more extensive process of Nature. The only human actions that ultimately make sense are those in accord with the flow of Nature — the Tao or the Way. “
