Statement
An event, an individual, a phrase,
The sound of a door's opening and footsteps in the hallway,
A pigeon crushed by the weight of passing vehicles,
A wisp of smoke rising in the sunlight.
I love observing and listening.
Each of my artworks is a healing process for me. It allows me to showcase myself, express my thoughts, and communicate with you.
I do not confine my work to any specific framework. My artworks take on diverse and varied forms, and I believe they are all traces of my exploration and records of my growth.
I hope people can experience something from my artwork. Whether you empathize with it or have a different perspective, thank you for your participation and witness.

Do I Really Know ...?
Do I Really Know ...?
This work is a process of exploring the self and having a dialogue with myself, as an introvert.
I looked at myself in the mirror and observed my emotions, how I look to others, the different expressions I make when I am engaged in social activities. I wrote out my doubts and observed how I look in the face of those doubts. I left behind myself in the mirror, who gradually reunited with me. Will I and myself, one day, understand and accept each other?
