Ice sculptor from Heilongjiang thrives on cold

Over the past 13 years, Wang Haifeng has won lots of honors in various competitions for ice and snow sculptures at home and abroad.

She created many of them in Heilongjiang province, as well as constructed indoor snow and ice sculptures in Beijing and Tianjin with her team from the Heilongjiang Forestry Design and Research Institute.

Born in Harbin, Heilongjiang, in 1988, Wang now is the head of the model worker innovation studio founded in her name at the institute.

"I have been fascinated by the ice and snow sculptures on roadsides and in the parks since my childhood," she said. "After being admitted to the department of art design at the Harbin Institute of Technology in 2008, I got the chance to make the unique artworks."
