I am interested in the raw and simple great wisdom that are beyond and behind all the surface phenomena and worldly affairs and human cleverness.
But I’m not into finding, proving or questioning the “truth”.
I meditate on life and death, love and loss, human’s position within the universe.
I trust and care about love and other human emotions and its constancy.
I crave intimacy, but also keep a distance from each other’s space.
There's an old Chinese saying, “Small hermits hide in the valleys, great hermits hide in urban cities.”
I believe in a way of living in the “real world”, which is detached and engaged at the same time.
My art is the process and also the outcome of my personal negotiation with all of that.
