“Jian” 间
时间,空间,房间,人世间,太平间
In my abstract works, I examine memories in a space.
It was inspired by the Chinese Character "Jian" which represent time, space, human world, and even mortuary, all has this one same character in them. Our whole life happened in these variety of spaces. I use mostly rectangular shapes to portray these spaces as a room, a door, a city and what happens in these spaces and what it left us with in our memories.
The materials I used are oil on Chinese rice paper and canvas to have this unique and mysterious texture combining both western and eastern aesthetics.
