Artist statement:
I am particularly interested in the intersection of art and technology. Much of my recent work has focused on leveraging technology to enhance and expand traditional artistic practices. Through experimentation with various materials, I aim to create a multi-dimensional atmosphere that engages the senses and expands consciousness. Another facet of my work explores sense-perception and the ability of mindfulness or attention to detail, making the work a medium for the dynamic connection between human beings and nature. My goal is not just to create a spare, meditative visual style, but to activate the imagination and evoke synesthesia, creating a transcendental experience.
Residency Project:
During the residency, I will draw inspiration from the local natural environment, and plan to use paper fibers, lights to create a series of immersive installation works and large-scale experimental abstract art. During the creation process, I will showcase my creative journey to the public to arouse their curiosity, encourage active participation and exploration. It is not just about seeing and being seen; it is intended to activate the spectator’s senses. Through immersive interaction, they become a part of the art. The entire process of “exploration” and “decryption” releases the perceptual process from the chains of past experiences. Additionally, I plan to conduct a live creative performance at the gallery and invite the public to participate. By creating an immersive meditation environment in a specific space, the audience will have the opportunity to experience a fluid connection with nature and share their experiences.
