Through my work, I explore my response to the fundamental questions of life, spirituality, and the inner logic of things. In the process of creating images with the asphalt medium, I minimise personal awareness in favour of capturing the impermanence and randomness of the fleeting moment, with the hope of finding a common comfort and peaceful energy in the so-called ‘emptiness’ of existence. Through printmaking, I try to represent the unrepresentable and the inconceivable that often appear in quantum mechanical images' relevant properties. I try to feel this presence in the abstract rather than define it, and at the same time it is an exploration of a deeper philosophical proposition of emptiness.
