ARTIST'S
STATEMENT
I was born and
lived my first 25 years in Taiwan. I
believe that identities are deeply
rooted in cultural perspectives,
although I might not be always conscious
of it. The migration, the changing of
the time and my locale make me more
aware of the origin and essence of the
individual's existence. The essential
qualities of different cultures, art
forms and materials, and reinterpreting
them by blurring their boundaries and
expanding their properties have engaged
the internal space of mine.
