  • Artistic statement:

    My work focuses on the everyday experience. I use photography and video to examine texture, smell or existence of life, and, accompanying with sensibility, I also express my concern about urban environment and cultural differentiation. These concerns sometimes resemble my understanding about people, sometimes reflect the space which I live in, and sometimes answer my doubt about the self. The intrigued signal happens so often that it seems normal to be ignored; however, once it opens up the awareness, the magic of recognition flows.

    My practice is indeed dedicated to developing an understanding of individual perceptions about reality through examining the construction of image, object, language, identity, memory and emotion while bringing attention to the process of art making. This dedication attempts to explore instead of concluding, by proposing multiple perspectives rather than one fixed strategy to expand on specific experiences. Ultimately, multiple attempts at exploration bring forth seemingly insignificant fragments and gather a focus on banality that embodies and reflects on the intricacy of personal experiences.
