Artist Statement

My practice usually starts from a small thing that I cannot help but pay attention to: the coziness of an animal, the strange logic of dreams, or the way one person monopolizes the discussion at the dinner table. I tend to be fascinated by small experiences that seem irrelevant until they are scrutinized.
With the use of painting, sculpture, and installation. I expand, flip, or twist those experiences to uncover things that otherwise would stay unnoticed. What fascinates me the most is the interrelation between such pairs as coziness and discomfort, watcher and watched, domination and vulnerability.
An artwork is a tool for me to explore certain issues that do not necessarily have answers. The goal is not to prove something with the aid of visual language but to start a dialogue by taking.
