Artist Statement
As an artist, I am committed to capturing the impact of pop culture, fashion, and media. Media and information distort people's access to the truth and weaken their ability to explore objects. It's easy to get caught up in popular culture.
At the core of my practice is the pulsating rhythm of fashion art—a visual language that transcends boundaries and reinvents the concept of the "fashion show." I create striking, almost unreal representations of fashion imagery, capturing fleeting moments to expose the contradictions of the information age. Through my work, I aim to challenge the “show-oriented” nature of society and provoke thought about the relentless pursuit of materialism in the age of Generation Z. My opulent imagery invites contemplation of the dangers hidden behind the facade of economic prosperity and consumer culture.
Through the lens of my Asian queer perspective, I paint self-created abstract objects that symbolize both intimate and collective experiences. These objects are not simply material things; they embody my emotional landscapes and spiritual connections with the world around me. The objects I create take on meaning beyond their physical form, becoming conduits for reflection on the societal forces and cultural pressures that shape our desires and identities. By combining abstract and pop art, I challenge traditional pop art conventions while revealing the societal pressures that define contemporary culture. With a visual narrative, unravelling the relationship between individual identity, media spectacle, and the show-oriented world
