Still Searching

Tailoring my inherent traditional Eastern culture into a cultivated Western atmosphere- I’m constantly consciously incorporating both cultures into communication in and outside of home, in music and visual arts, as well as in sports. I want to explore, analyze, and make tangible my attitude toward the cultural fusion and self-identification of the East and West through my work: the subtle and the loud; the traditional and the liberal; the focused and the scattered.

I want the art I produce to be a visual representation of my views and experiences as a young person who has lived in a big city my entire life and is continually searching for wisdom, belonging, and fascination. I want my audience to look at my work with a critical eye and to relive my moments from scrutinizing my work.

These views and experiences that I recreate encompass both the precarious real world and the surreal dream world. My dreams are fabricated from subjects, hopes, and fears I’ve encountered in the real world- the world I have little control over and yearn to manipulate. My art will also reflect both my control and lack of control over my life. 

My everyday canvas is the world and I seek to put my perception of the world on a medium that will best carry it out, through sounds as well as through images. I will work with and without electronic equipment to produce new work, depending on the way I want something to look and on the message I want to convey.
