While transiting traditional elements into contemporary works, I would try to fascinate my audience with the subjects they’ve already been familiar with, yet these elements are so much different from the existing impression they have from the tradition. How do I come up with these ideas? They’re all through my life experiences and the observations to the culture and the people who live on this piece of land.
On the other hand, my works often look at the world from a micro perspective viewpoint, and that I use genes and cells as the basic concepts in my art. Although these two entities are basic science units, as far as the meaning of the continuation of life is concerned, they symbolize the most primeval state of life. The forms like best are smooth, full lines, which evoke flowing water and the division of cells, and are both abstract and concrete. Today’s information society constitutes a micro framework, and social issues, love, life, the environment, and war all frequently appear in my works. I certainly don’t want to portray forms too faithfully in my sculpture, but rather seek to let my fingers bring forth life from the clay as directed by the thoughts. I think my sculpture constitutes a reflection of myself, and it’s the nourishment of my art. Life inevitably involves a process of chance, the unexpected joys, unforeseen encounters, and unplanned outcomes that I’ve experienced.
In a whole, I integrate love, sophistication, imagery of past, present and future. With common language expressions and modern artistic skills, I let my works speak my passion to the world.
