As an artist/observer, my thinking is often constructed on the dialectic of natural ecology and human heritage, as well as transition and transformation. Through different media such as installation, video, painting and sculpture, I visualize the process of discernment and explore the responsibility or obligation of human beings towards culture and nature.
The process of creation begins with all the known materials, together with the natural curiosity, and is finally polished through either traditional or modern techniques. Through the exchange of materials between the internal and external worlds, I aim to open up an immersive overhead scene that abstracts the relationship of dependence and subversion between man and his environment. Simultaneously copying, pasting and editing extracts of dreams and myths, the resulting blend of flavors wanders between the virtual and the real.
My works draw on myths, nature and folklore from different regions, depicting those traces that are more or less pulled by the dominant culture of different times. Since I was born as a human being, I have inherited the legacy and gifts of endless history, and the community spirit of those sages who had nothing to do with each other has always inspired me. Stripped away from the core of cosmopolitanism, those mean-spirited and one-sided conflicts are also a sobering reminder of where we are now.
