訾鵬選用玉，這款具有象徵意義經雕琢的自然寶石資源作為他的「材料繆斯」。從 2009 年到 2011 年間一直在研究玉材質的光學原理和玉石文化。藝術家嘗試中西文化的碰撞和融合，用翡翠和各種寶石塑造的形象是對童年美好時光的紀念。近年的系列作品融合了卡通、紋身、多材質等流行潮流文化的載體，讓藝術創作的理念不止於單一的視覺呈現。

Peng Zi chooses jade, a naturally precious stone which symbolizes richness, as his "material muse." Between 2009 and 2011, he studied both the optical properties of jade and its cultural significance. Zi explores the collision and integration of Eastern and Western cultures; the sculpted figures from jadeite and various gemstones commemorate his wonderful childhood. In recent years, his series incorporates elements of pop culture, including cartoons, tattoos, and mixed media, expanding his artistic concepts beyond singular visual presentations.
