Statement

My previous major was furniture design, and during my hands-on engagement in this field I spent numerous days and hours trying to explore the subtle yet interactive relationship between people and furniture. This casted a light on how the special connection between people and furniture is the physical embodiment of the relationship between human beings and society. Therefore, most of my works hope to further discuss the changes in modern social identities and the rapid evolution of our society.

With the eye-dazzling advancement of high technology and the overwhelming inundation of information, our lives have been fragmented by the bits and pieces of media data and lost their original paradigm. Most of the time, we are encapsulated in a virtual binary world, concealed by the Internet, and everyone depends on social media such as chat programs to talk with each other or reach out to the world. We are getting buried under a dominating amount of information on a daily basis, helpless yet still passively accepted.

Isolation and solitude have permeated our existence. What is left of the live, tactile, body, visceral, face-to-face experiences? I strive to use my works to dissect those problems.
