Artist Statement
My exhibition is the state of mind. When staring at the majestic cliffs in a painting, it feels like time has stopped for a moment, and the chaotic thoughts taking up space in your head fade away like clouds drifting off into the horizon. When everything begins to move again, flowing brushstrokes dance as if to a beautiful waltz or fluid Tai Chi movements. They are constantly changing, while, similarly, my gaze never breaks away from the interchange of light and shadow.
