the fields where i “SCRATCH”:
Reviewing the fields of recreation,
a series of images throwback in my mind, after tidy up,
it is like a Quartet chart:
Objects, Symbols are the most chosen subjects
in these stages where I've been studying so far
Artworks will be transferred into multi-functional stuff
or became to de-installed objects.
The windmills of for instance, I turned food tin foil into the windmill curtains, or it's been called: body expansion limbs. After the transformation, It catches the wind, and evidence the sound of it in another tune.
how to get the “SATISFACTION"
My first step in art is traditional methods based sculpture. Since then gradually stepping into multi-material creation, and now I'm exploring bigger spaces, such as natural elements, how the symbols are able to affect people in a specific place, my creat behaviour pattern is regular: reconstruction objects, set up a performance to metaphor a phenomenon, or use my body as a tool to working with nature, etc.
when reproduce, I sometimes get rid of the original functions, appearances, or any other aspects.
But in the result of reconstruction, they are complete within its' art forms surprisingly.
Living a life that is full of normalized manufacturing products, I'm don't distingue apart my identity from the audience that often. As a life experiencer, I choose the inspirations that captured in daily life, and with its consequential material.
Letting artworks are able to satisfy my spiritual needs, meanwhile, offering an empathy experience to each viewer I have encountered.

about “ITCHY FEELING”
I'm trying to be sensitive whilst being an artist in mundane life.
Get itch constantly, as if maintaining my endocrine at a high-frequency level, in order
to refresh everyday perspective towards daily products.
I prefer an abnormal vision to deal with ready-made objects, such as windmill,
kitchen toolkit, body measurement tape,
or even the notification signs from the smartphone screen.
Within the reasons behind, it could relate to my grownup background, I'm living in the social life that is surrounded by mass-produce manufacturing.
Consequently, my research questions are: Offering a different experience to my audience by using the objects that they were familiar with.
Diving into the connections between ordinary life among human society and the monster of the national construction machine.
