Mr. Katsumi Asaba, legendary Japanese designer, commented, “I am very glad to attend “Y Show” and being one of the assessment committee members. This is the first time I participate in Macau’s design event as a member of the assessment committee. I feel honoured to share my experience with so many design enthusiasts. The Macau city has a blend of both Chinese and Western culture, and has a rich cultural background. By examine some of the student’s art work I found that there are potential creative students. I believe ‘Y Show’ is a success since they have introduced different overseas institutions with different cultural backgrounds to join the event and this surely can stimulate students to develop and enhance their creative mindset.”

The award from these famous designers is a huge recognition to me. I feel glad that Macau finally has a joint exhibition showcasing work from different institutes; this is a platform I have always been looking for. I hope Macau can offer more similar platforms like “Y Show”, which enable direct interaction between students and entrepreneurs and well-known designers to enhance our creative knowledge and also create a better future for the young creators.”
