I experiment with different mediums, such as simple drawing, soft sculpture and stop-motion animation. Through various experimental processes, I present contradiction, such as simplicity and complexity, ephemerality and perpetuity, comedy and tragedy, life and death. By juxtaposing different forms and media, I try to blur space highlighting the interplay between these dichotomies in order to transcend them. As a nature, my works look to disrupt the boundaries of these dualities. For me, process is a small river It branches into different currents. Sometime it is very slow. Sometimes it is very fast. It is an ephemeral activity and each process carries the different emotions I carry. The flow of the river converges and eventually becomes one river and flowing to sea as if nothing happened.
