The intangible connection of the multiplicity of existing is explored as an on-going inquiry within my work. My visual experimentations have engaged with ordinary objects, the perception of memory, psychological space and our connection with the natural world.
The images I produce enduringly aim to present the uncanny feeling of seeing the silence. In the scenes from life and nature, I make the silence articulate in a slow rhythm of monologue, subtle and affectionate.
Light is a metaphoric medium with the transmutable aspect that takes over my photographs, video, and text. It is an inexhaustible device not only to define or simplify the objects but also emanate diverse emotional meanings.
Producing visual pieces with attributes as the ones water has, inclusiveness and transience, is inherent to my sensibility. Imaginary dialogues are cultivated within my work about the form of myself, longing and belonging, displacement and impermanence, keep evolving and transforming.
