Artist’s Statement
“My work takes one’s everyday experience as the subject and transforms it into simple forms to evoke personal responses while maintaining uncertainty and distanced readings to the subject. The juxtaposition of simple elements creates dialogues within and potentially generates personal attachment and implication. It is through the collection and the re-enactment of materials, spaces, observations and meanings that the complexity of one’s perception toward everyday life would be reminded and recognized.“
