There’s a drive in me to make, to express, to connect with people through visual languages.

I enjoy creating art that speaks about the shared emotions that cannot be easily expressed in words. The medium can be painting or sculpture, with some sort of abstraction. I want to create something that people find moving, or something that make one contemplate, it is a goal, but the processs of making the art is a way of finding myself as well.
Where do you find inspiration?Recently, I have been drawn to philosophy and the exploration of the universe. The two subjects are inherently related, one is to explore the self, the meaning, the other one is to explore the outside, the universe, both exhibits the human nature of curiosity. Ideas come from spontaneous interactions with other people, my daily subway rides, walks. The idea of blur interests me a lot, in Chinese it is 虛(xu). It is about the blurring of boundary of things, matters.
What would you do with $25,000?With $25,000, I will plan it out long term. The fund will be used to buy art materials, and renting studio spaces. Some may go to applications for artist opportunities.
