Artist Statement

My practice seeks to re-examine, from a third-person perspective, how people live in an uncontrollable and incomprehensible world and where they constantly need to react to the unexpected. It aims to explore the inevitable effects and subtle changes that occur when people are confronted with unpredictable events, the unobserved, the unseen, and the unknown, due to the limitations of their knowledge.

​

I conceptualize life's unpredictable events as numerous points on a continuous curve, an unconscious evolution depicted gradually in my drawings. This process culminates in an enduring bronze "landscape," reminiscent of a traditional Chinese garden's rockery—a symbolic representation of the intricate veins of our lives. Its "clumsiness" pursued in the conventional sense is the removal of purposefulness, which is precisely what my drawings show. The beauty of the rockery is the subtle relationship it creates with the things around it, as if the things that happen to us in our lives shape us, and our feedback shapes the course of our lives and destinies.

​

I keep placing small wax flowers on the work, allowing the flowers to bloom in countless unsuspected corners. When viewers look at the job, they can feel the changes that the wax flowers bring to the whole piece, as if unpredictable events have left traces on the veins of life and eventually become part of it. Moreover, bronze is made of wax, and I choose to use these two materials, which are progressive in process, to collide with each other, enhance the work's infectiousness, and bring the viewers to think about it in a certain way.
