Major project:
Inability to Forget
Memory is an invisible wandering soul, which appears in the unconscious and conscious mind. It would be partly changed and mixed together during the passing time. Painting is like a recording, a machine, and it freezes and catches a certain time of reminiscence.

My works mainly explore the relationship between dreams, the unconscious and memory. I try to record untouchable and invisible things by painting and transforming their amorphous form into a physical reality.
For me, painting is an act of dialogue with oneself. The brush is the medium of communication and the presentation of paint is the reflection of one's own behaviour.
