Artist Statement: Adapting to a new culture means subjecting oneself to profound change. In my art creation, I draw on my experience of acclimation to new environments. The process of change is my inspiration to create. My work are composed of dyes and mixed media, and laden with abstract elements that are rooted in Chinese philosophy. In my process, I let my mediums take their own course, abandoning all control. I explore uncertainty and chance, the wisdom of allowing things to happen, which is a belief found in Taoist philosophy. I want to tell people to think positively about changes as well. Life and color dance on my canvas, and my brush strokes are not confined by the rigid discipline of traditions. It is spontaneous continuous movement, abandoning restrictions for serendipity.
