Drawing and Painting

Episodes I

During the pandemic, I tend to look back to the past and hold onto the experiences that will shape myself and the future. By looking at the past, memories of trips are my inspirations in creating moments that form who I am. I use contour lines of both western and eastern scenes created with ink on the tracing paper. Layering these drawings is my process to document and rescue these moments from oblivion. This layering simulates how memory works in my mind, some details are clear, and some fuzzy. By combining eastern and western scenes I express my yearning to belong two both identities and not in between!
