Statement

“We are all very similar,” I believe; I communicate with the others by expressing my deepest feelings. Personal experiences have been a source of inspiration for me; through collecting more relevant stories from the others and going as deep as possible to reach the source, I try to bring my story to a social level, to tell it in a way that could resonate with the public. The quietness in my work is from a frozen moment of an action, a movement. People often find my work soft and gentle, but then the tension and weight come after. The soft-touch of the material, the oppressive form, the adorable appearance, a touch of insecurity…the combination of all senses reflects the state of mind under our collective story.
