With the curiosity and humbling to the nature of material itself, I am more of an explorer than a conquerer as an artist.

I try to understand the material and the best way to work with it. I try to present the nature of art, to evoke the rawness of our feelings through the interaction with art.

It was the desire to build a relationship with the art project itself - how much do I understand the object? The more I thought about the art itself and every component it has originally and what I transformed into, the more I realized that the art transforms itself and expresses itself.

When I started one project, I had no idea what final form the project itself would become. I started by throwing in colors, textures, shapes, structures, compositions, and etc. that echo with my feelings toward the theme.

I focused on building up the connection among components only. The process of working by hands, getting to know each material by touching it, cherishing the form it turns into, and the effect multiple materials intertwined brought me the art by itself.

The way I worked with art changed dramatically after this semester. Rather than making art, I prefer to the expression of working with materials. Through working with materials and understanding them as a friend, a colleague in the building process, I understand myself, and every component of me better. And the art project become the resonance between material and me.

People say that art is dying.

But I refused to believe this. Art-making is fundamental to human and humanity. To me, especially after this semester, art is not the showcase of techniques, not even expression of the artist. Art is being, experiencing, evolving with times.
