Artist’s statement : One of the things that I personally have been struggling with
is knowing how to draw and paint but not knowing what to say about it. It’s not
that I don’t know, it’s more of a tendency of preferring not to get trapped within
a single concept. Instead of focusing on a particular subject matter, my body of
work rely so much on intuition. I don’t position myself into a suffering, by believing
not everything has to have a meaning and match the status quo, that’s freedom.
The idea of embracing things as is, the mistakes are actual mistakes, no printing,
has been one thing I keep in mind. What you see is what you get, and that’s
exactly what’s in my head whether it looks like it’s flawed or not.
