“If personal experience can reflect itself, I think drawing and writing are a kind of slice of self.”
I use a lot of childhood memories and symbolic figures in my creations such as teddy bears, antique toys, intuitive graffiti drawings, costume characters and so on. In many cases, the viewer sees them as “kidult.” My painting starts as diary recordings, which tends to be in a written form. This writing is more in line with one of the interpretations of my work.
"What is painting?” I often ask this question to myself, a question that constantly deconstructs and constructs my thoughts. Specifically, instinct drives me to write about these fragments of my childhood, like words and poems in my images, figurative but present. I still recall this moment in my childhood, when I was watching television and playing by myself with toys, which I still have with me, all alone in the room. Maybe, this kind of childhood experience is common in the era of declining birthrate, and some might share the same feeling—desire to be with someone and growing up without noticing the desire.
My personal experience is characteristic of my generation. It writes feelings I face unclearly, but intuitively and willfully awakening the utter innocence in my skin. I strongly believe that creation is the way I converse with the world.
