When introducing “Flying Dream”, one of the sculptures of the exhibition, Pan stated that the work shows a process of self-release, like a butterfly emerges from a chrysalis. He wants to bring viewers into a relaxed and cheerful state through his works, where they can temporarily leave the impetuousness and pressure behind.

Pan is now a member of the China Sculpture Institute and the Guangdong Artists Association. His works have been collected and displayed by a number of well-known art facilities, including China Sports Museum, Shenzhen Art Museum, National Centre for the Performing Arts, and Guangdong Museum of Art.

Sun Li, Vice President of the Art Committee of Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area Artists Union said, "You can not only see the shadow of Henry Moore, but also the elegance of ancient Greek sculpture as well as factors of modern cartoons in Pan's works. Moreover, the disposition of traditional Chinese literati is also deeply embedded in these sculptures."
