03 / BEHIND THE WORLDSTHE ARTIST & THE PRACTICE
WHERE IMAGINATION MEETS THE CUE.DESIGNER · ARTIST · EDUCATOR
Hello.
I’m Tao Wang.
My journey began with chalk drawings in Xinjiang, China. Painting taught me how to see. Theatre taught me how to make people feel.
Today, I move between set, light, projection and fine art, creating visual worlds that give stories a place to live. Each project begins with curiosity, and a belief that the most powerful design comes from the heart.
