Fire and Wind. According to legend, every nation is associated with one of the elements. For Europeans, a typical element is fire, which seems confirmed by the strong historical tendency to spread culture and traditions to all other continents. For Asians, according to the legend, the typical element is wind, which has been blowing, over thousands of years, from Africa to today's China and created fertile loess fields, which became a source of strength and energy for the entire country. This project aspires to become one of the bridges between the people of Europe and Asia.
 
I was interested in the concept of the Tiger as a symbol that is understood by the nations of Fire and Wind. As it turned out, the project became a challenge for the masters involved, which they had adopted with, for me, an unexpected positivity. A unique concept emerged, that represents energetic and vibrant works originating from the heart of Europe. Not surprisingly was Prague historically the seat of kings and emperors, and there were many decisions made there affecting the history of the European continent. I believe that the vibrant energy of our country has positively influenced the works that I would like to present to the audience.

火与风。传说中每个民族都有专属的元素。像欧洲的属性是火，在历史上我们可以得知他的文化及传统像火一样蔓延至全世界。至于亚州元素则是风。千百年以来风自非洲吹向中国，形成肥沃的黄土，成就现在中国的强盛的基础。这个计划在于追求建立欧亚人民之间往来的一座桥梁。

我对于风火民族将老虎视为一个象征的想法很感兴趣。就目前来说，这个计划对于每个参与其中的大师来说不失为一个挑战，对我来说，事前无法预测大家会如此积极参与其中。一个独特的概念将这些来自欧洲中心的生动作品呈现在世人眼前。预料之中布拉格-历史上国王和皇帝的宝座，以及许多影响欧洲民族历史的决策都在这里制定。我相信我国的蓬勃朝气能充分表现我想要呈现给观众的作品中。
