” In my artwork, I always attempts to display the similarities and/or contradictions between concepts and cultures. Deconstruction and assemblage are my practices of making artwork. The target maybe a material, a concept, a system or a phenomenon.
My artworks always carry a tone of humor where rejection and contest become imperative elements. “To interact or not to interact” is always one of the ironical element in my artwork.
I believe that sound could be a metaphor of some natural phenomenon as well as some city status. My work is about expressing my passion about soundscape relationship between human and nature.”
