Artist Statement
born in chengdu, lived in shanghai, moved to the bayarea when i was nine, moved back to shanghai for college, currently in nyc
My works are a reflection of me at a certain time and place with a certain feeling and mindset. They see as I see. They feel as I feel. They evolve as I evolve. My works are my extended brain with the purest documentation of my thoughts and memories. Then, it should be the reality, yet, I am not in control. My thoughts are the result of my up brings, interactions and allowed intrusions from third parties. This being said, these creations are a direct reflection of my Chinese body with western influence, my western mind with Chinese influence and the modern world I encounter as a “global citizen”.
I like challenging the pre-existing notion of expression by telling stories through different mediums and at times a combination of many mediums. I like spotting those similarities in our world as I make the world my home. I like presenting questions through symbolic materials, movements and visual compositions in hopes of sparking a critical conversation about our social constructs, relationships, freedoms, and individuality. I like us to question reality. Is this it? Or are we shaping the reality as we speak?
