I have always explored the building of the inner personality and the perception of the external world, and I initiate my work through psychology and the events that occur in my life. In the course of my practice, I have come to realise that each person's self and perception of the outside world is very different, and gradually my work has become more about expressing the differences in individual lives. Installation, performance, video and photography are the ways in which I create my work. Performance is the most important way for me, I believe that the most real feeling is the act of being close to a person, even if it is just breathing, which is above visuals and words. In my style I prefer minimalism and oriental Zen, I want my work to make the viewer feel calm, I believe that when people are calm they can receive other signals better. The information in contemporary society is extremely rich and complex, and sometimes it can be overwhelming, I also hope that my work can make the viewer experience the feeling of slowing down.
Through my works, I express the concept that the diversity of individual lives deserves respect, and I personally experience the feelings of each individual life in each work, which is my firm view from the moment I became an artist.
