In recent years I work with different media, often concerning personal experience, cultural heritage, and sometimes social and environmental changes as my inspirations and themes. I follow the changes of my personal life making adjestments and innovation, allowing matters in their natural forms of development. My various series of works aim to express my interest and contemplation regarding the process or the evolvement of “precipiation”, also my thoughts on “true vs untrue”and “illusion vs reality”. Although the forms and appearances of my work changes, the essence of my aim remains the same.
