I engage with art as both a creator and a curator. For me, fundamentally, each artistic creation and curatorial project is a vehicle to connect people: it fosters an understanding about what it means to live through our time; it serves to transcend individual differences and cultivate a sense of empathy. Art to me is a public forum, where people join together to express concerns, exchange ideas, and find solace in making connections with other people.

Drawing inspiration from personal experience, current news and sociology research, my multimedia work collectively develops narrative about how people feel, think and live in our time. I work in a symbiosis of different media and techniques - paintings, videos, internet art, interactive objects, whatever it takes to achieve my creative vision. By using a combination of traditional visual art methods and digital technologies, my work bridges analog and digital realms to engage a contemporary audience. At once conceptual and emotional, poignant and poetic, controlled and spontaneous, realistic and surreal, my work creates tension among familiarity and estrangement which aims to create awareness and provoke dialogue.
