Drawing and Painting, Installation, Filming
“My artistic practice started from personal conflict experiences. It centers on an exploration of both my personal identity and the flaws of human nature. Since then, my works have been focused on depicting explosive and mysterious nature, such as volcanoes, mountains, fires, caves, similar to my emotional state, such as painting everyday, layering abstract forms, and making conscious objects. For example, I made pictures that function as 'time machines' such as doors, archives, and electricity. Through such abstract works, I work on capturing emotions at certain moments in time using symbolic forms as a means of inducing self-reflection.”
